This ethnography critically analyzes the travel of diaspora Africans to Ghana by considering its cultural and political economic meanings for hosts, guests, and intermediaries. Reed highlights how tensions inherent in promoting heritage travel alternatively as tourism or as pilgrimage have profound implications for economic development and reclaiming an African identity.
