The desire to return to Africa has remained a persistent theme in the social and political imagination of Africans and their descendants who were forcibly removed from the continent. This impulse and its organizational outlets can be traced from the founding of the West African colonies of Sierra Leone in 1787 and Liberia in 1819, and in the emigrationist movements of Paul Cuffe, Martin Delany, Chief Alfred Sam, Marcus Garvey, and others. Although Back to Africa movements have subsided in recent decades, the impulse to return to the African “homeland” persists, as is vividly illustrated in “roots” tourism in Ghana.
