- Description:
- On the sea islands off coastal Georgia, African Americans in the early twentieth century recalled parents, grandparents, and neighbors who survived the Atlantic crossing. Those communities, though in many ways distinct, provide a microcosm of the larger problem that Nemata Amelia Ibitayo Blyden engages in her work. Using the lens of identity theory, she argues that Africa, �real and imagined,� has been an ongoing reference point in shaping black consciousness in the United States (p. 14).
