This second volume of An African Journey traces former enslaved Africans, along with their heroes, Sista and Breda Anancy (Ananse, Anansi), after Emancipation in the British Caribbean. It depicts their struggle for political and economic liberation from the colonial power - Britain - and outlines their journey throughout the region in search of work. It also comments on the journeys made to Europe by thousands of men and women who enlisted to fight in the First and Second World Wars. The book also traces the journey of Mrs Brown and her seven young children who set sail from Jamaica to Britain in 1964 to join their father in London.
