African American Settlements in West Africa: John Brown Russwurm and the American Civilizing Efforts. By Amos J. Beyan. (New York: Palgrave, 2005. viii, 167 pp. $65.00, ISBN 1-4039-6891-8.)

The African colonization movement has become a cottage industry among historians of the nineteenth century. Since 2003, six books, several dissertations, and numerous articles have been published on the American Colonization Society (ACS), Liberia, and kindred subjects. Amos J. Beyan's African American Settlements in West Africa contributes to this burgeoning field by examining John Brown Russwurm, an African American who profoundly influenced the colonization cause in both America and Africa.
