pilgrimage to my motherland An account of a journey among the Egbas and Yorubas of Central Africa in 1859-60 - Robert Campbell

"Pilgrimage to My Motherland" by Robert Campbell offers a vivid account of his journey among the Egbas and Yorubas of Central Africa during 1859-60, as he shares his impressions and observations as a first-time visitor to what is now Nigeria. This work not only captures the rich cultural tapestry of the region but also serves as an early reflection of the "Back to Africa" movements that would later gain momentum with figures like Marcus Garvey Jr. The themes of exploration, identity, and cultural connection resonate powerfully today, inviting listeners to reflect on the enduring significance of understanding one's roots and heritage.
