In 1865, 346 Afro-Barbadians fled a failed post-emancipation Caribbean for the independent black republic of Liberia. They saw Liberia as a means of achieving their post-emancipation goals and promoting a pan-Africanist agenda while simultaneously fulfilling their 'civilizing' and 'Christianizing' duties. Through a close examination of the Afro-Barbadians, Caree A. Banton provides a transatlantic approach to understanding the political and sociocultural consequences of their migration and settlement in Africa. Banton reveals how, as former British subjects, Afro-Barbadians navigated an inherent tension between ideas of pan-Africanism and colonial superiority. Upon their arrival in Liberia, an English imperial identity distinguished the Barbadians from African Americans and secured them privileges in the Republic's hierarchy above the other group. By fracturing assumptions of a homogeneous black identity, Banton ultimately demonstrates how Afro-Barbadian settlement in Liberia influenced ideas of blackness in the Atlantic World. 650 0 $a Barbadians $z Liberia $x History. 651 0 $a Liberia $x History $y 1847-1944. 651 0 $a Liberia $x Emigration and immigration $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Barbados $x Emigration and immigration $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Barbadians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01738960 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908690 651 7 $a Barbados. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205547 651 7 $a Liberia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205331 648 7 $a 1800-1944 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E59CCCAA2DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
