Explores psychological, political, and sociological impulses that underlie Black Americans' contact with and interest in Africa. Asserts that Africa and her American descendants can attain a high level of mutual understanding and solidarity only when Afro-Americans change their "American mentality" so that cultural elements of their "Africanness" may be accommodated.
