Atlantic Bonds

Descriere

A decade before the American Civil War, James Churchwill Vaughan (1828-93) set out to fulfil his formerly enslaved father's dying wish that he should leave America to start a new life in Africa. Tracing Vaughan's journey from South Carolina to Liberia to several parts of Yorubaland, Lisa Lindsay documents this "free" man's struggle to find economic and political autonomy.
