Often called the "Father of Black Nationalism," Martin Robison Delany (1812-1885) spent much of his career seeking Black emancipation through African American emigration to Africa. He was also a preeminent abolitionist, author, physician, and the highest-ranking Black officer during the Civil War. Two of his most influential works on Black nationalism are presented in this volume.
The Condition, Elevation, Emigration, and Destiny of the Colored People of the United States (1852) presents Delany's separatist views. To many scholars of African American political thought, this book marks the origin of Black nationalism in print. Because of the intractable nature of U.S. racism, Delany concluded by recommending emigration of African Americans to Central America.
Some years later Delany turned to Africa as the better choice for relocation of Black Americans. Based on an exploratory journey he took to West Africa in 1859, he wrote Official Report of the Niger Valley Exploring Party, providing clear information on the conditions to West Africa of that time.
