Blending historical documents, oral histories, and musical recordings, Pan-African Resonance: Music, Migration, and Everyday Practice in London and Accra shows how people forged an enduring practice of pan-Africanism through their daily lives.

A social and cultural history of Ghanaian and Caribbean musicians, students, and professionals who crossed the African-Atlantic during the twentieth century in search of new opportunities and created new ways of belonging based in music.
