Africa has long gripped the American imagination. From the Edenic
wilderness of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan novels to the 'black
Zion' of Garvey's Back-to-Africa movement, all manner of Americans
- whether white or black, male or female - have come to see Africa
as an idealized stage on which they can fashion new, more authentic
selves. In this remarkable, panoramic work, David Peterson del Mar
explores the ways in which American fantasies of Africa have
evolved over time, as well as the role of Africans themselves in
subverting American attitudes to their continent. Spanning seven
decades, from the post-war period to the present day, and
encompassing sources ranging from literature, film and music to
accounts by missionaries, aid workers and travel writers, African,
American is a fascinating deconstruction of 'Africa' as it exists
in the American mindset.
