Adventures Of A Black Girl: Traveling While Black

Description

Traveling While Black is an exploration of the impact of African migration, in all of its manymanifestations, on the Black Diaspora and on the continents that have become our adopted and
adapted homes. It explores the histories that have created our presence outside of Africa and the current attitudes toward African peoples that are revealed through transcontinental crossings. Traveling While Black is part travelogue and part history lesson and seeks to exploit the tensions between tourism and colonialism as it interrogates boundaries and reveals cultural connects and disconnects.
