Mitchell investigates an anxious period in U.S. history when African Americans negotiated domestic relationships, forged institutions, and clashed over strategies intended to preserve themselves as a people. Notions about "racial destiny" informed African Americans' views on emigration to Liberia, imperialism, sexuality, conduct, home environments, material culture, miscegenation and nationalism. This provocative book reinterprets black protest and politics after emancipation.
