The 1920s set in motion a wave of African Americans going abroad. In taking readers to well-known capital cities like Paris and more unusual destinations like Yangiyul, Uzbekistan, and Kabondo, Kenya, historian Tamara Walker relays tender stories of adventurous travelers, including a group of gifted Black crop scientists in the 1930s, a housewife searching for purpose in the 1950s, a Peace Corps volunteer discovering his identity in the 1970s, and more. Tying these tales together is Walker’s personal account of her family’s, and her own, experiences abroad—in France, Brazil, Argentina, Austria, and beyond.
