Drawing on over a decade of ethnographic research as well as textual, visual, and archival sources, Patricia de Santana Pinho investigates African American roots tourism, a complex, poignant kind of travel that provides profound personal and collective meaning for those searching for black identity and heritage. It also provides, as Pinho\u2019s interviews with Brazilian tour guides, state officials, and Afro-Brazilian activists reveal, economic and political rewards that support a structured industry.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"\" style=\"font-family: Arial\">Pinho traces the origins of roots tourism to the late 1970s, when groups of black intellectuals, artists, and activists found themselves drawn especially to Bahia, the state that in previous centuries had absorbed the largest number of enslaved Africans. African Americans have become frequent travelers across what Pinho calls the &#8220;map of Africanness&#8221; that connects diasporic communities and stimulates transnational solidarities while simultaneously exposing the unevenness of the black diaspora. Roots tourism, Pinho finds, is a fertile site to examine the tensions between racial and national identities as well as the gendered dimensions of travel, particularly when women are the major roots-seekers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>272 pp., 6.125 x 9.25, 4 halftones<\/p>\n<p>Paperback ISBN: 978-1-4696-4532-2<br \/>\nPublished: December 2018<br \/>\nHardcover ISBN: 978-1-4696-4531-5<br \/>\nPublished: December 2018<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a id=\"LPlnk702653\" href=\"http:\/\/securecart.longleafservices.org\/FormParser.aspx?BookID=46964532&amp;SiteID=100\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">Paperback \u00a0\u00a0$29.95<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a id=\"LPlnk568502\" href=\"http:\/\/securecart.longleafservices.org\/FormParser.aspx?BookID=46964531&amp;SiteID=100\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">Hardcover \u00a0\u00a0$90.00<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">E-Book \u00a0\u00a0$22.99<\/span>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial\"><a id=\"LPlnk413437\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mapping-Diaspora-African-American-Tourism-ebook\/dp\/B07BB6G94W\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1540907043&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=9781469645339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">Amazon Kindle<\/a>\u00a0<a id=\"LPlnk132070\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/isbn9781469645339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">Apple iBookstore<\/a>\u00a0<a id=\"LPlnk362000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/mapping-diaspora-patricia-de-santana-pinho\/1128220048?ean=9781469645339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">Barnes and Noble Ebooks<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Patricia de Santana Pinho<br \/>\nAssociate Professor<br \/>\nLatin American and Latino Studies<br \/>\nUniversity of California, Santa Cruz<br \/>\nMail: Merrill Faculty Services, UCSC<br \/>\n1156 High St, Santa Cruz, CA 95064<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncpress.org\/book\/9781469645322\/mapping-diaspora\/\">https:\/\/www.uncpress.org\/book\/9781469645322\/mapping-diaspora\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncpress.org\/book\/9781469645322\/mapping-diaspora\/\">More info&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More info&gt;&gt;
