Searching for Zion: The Quest for Home in the African Diaspora

Searching for Zion is a thought-provoking and deeply personal journey of self-discovery, as Emily Raboteau travels the world in search of a place to call home.

Through her ten-year journey, she uncovers the complex and contradictory perspectives of black Zionists, from Rastafarians to African Hebrew Israelites, and explores the pull of the story of exodus.

With a refreshing honesty and bravery, Raboteau overturns our ideas of place and patriotism, displacement and dispossession, citizenship and country in this landmark work.

Whether you're looking for a new perspective on identity, community, or belonging, Searching for Zion is sure to inspire and challenge you.
