      abstract = {"African Americans and others in the African diaspora have  increasingly "come home" to Africa to visit the sites at  which their ancestors were enslaved and shipped. In this  nuanced analysis of homecoming, Katharina Schramm analyzes  how a shared rhetoric of the Pan-African family is produced  among African hosts and Diasporan returnees and at the same  time contested in practice. She examines the varying  interpretations and appropriations of significant sites  (slave forts), events (Emancipation Day) and discourses  (repatriation) in Ghana to highlight these dynamics. From  this, she develops her notions of diaspora, home,  homecoming, memory and identity that reflect the complexity  and multiple reverberations of these cultural encounters  beyond the sphere of roots tourism."--Book jacket.},
