Paul Robeson made possible this trip to Africa for his wife and
their son, Pauli, so that they might see for themselves the way in
which the land of their race lives, works, despairs, and
hopes...Working through anthropological research, Mrs. Robeson
finds the familiar patriarchical attitudes in South African
Europeans, the long-remembered anti-Negro feelings, the problems of
segregation and discrimination; she views colonials with an
experienced eye of disillusion and finds little progress in white
thinking; she does find that Negroes in Africa are more interested,
more concerned and aware of international progress and politics -
and that the "primitive mind" of some of the tribes and their
reigning families is far in advance of that of her
countrymen...This adds another cubit to the growing awareness of
the problems of minorities everywhere - in its factual reporting of
a trip, undertaken primarily for the purpose of examining
background and history, resulting in an awakening to the scale of
world prejudice. An informative, non-routine approach to what has
been worked over by many. The style is somewhat too chatty and
personal - but this may make for a wider lay market. (Kirkus
