Wandering in Strange Lands: A Daughter of the Great Migration Reclaims Her Roots
Description
In this deeply personal work of history and cultural criticism, the author traces her family’s journeys from the American South to distant cities and regions shaped by the Great Migration. Along the way, she explores how millions of Black Americans sought opportunity while confronting the painful loss of ancestral land, community, and belonging. Blending memoir, reporting, and historical reflection, the book examines displacement, identity, race, and the enduring search for roots across a changing nation.
