Reviews
'This engagingly written analysis of black resettlement is wide in geographic focus and institutional range. Page brings the field into the post-Civil War period, covering the endurance of the 'separatist impetus,' which, he claims, amounted to global scale segregation and undermined the foundations of racial integration in America. This long-awaited study will figure prominently in discussions of resettlement for years to come.' Beverly C. Tomek, co-editor of New Directions in the Study of African American Recolonization
'This volume enriches the transnational trajectory of US Civil War scholarship and provides fertile ground for delving deeply into specific areas of the controversy.' J. E. Johnson, Choice
