Mississippi in Africa: The Saga of the Slaves of Prospect Hill Plantation and Their Legacy in Liberia Today is a 2004 non-fiction book by Alan Huffman, published by the University Press of Mississippi. It chronicles Americo-Liberians who originated from the Prospect Hill Plantation in Mississippi and who settled Mississippi-in-Africa.
The book had a working title of "Prospect Hill" though the final title was "Mississippi in Africa".[1]
Publishers Weekly praised the "fascinating" concept, though it criticized the excessive detail which it argued made the pace "plodding", and that the book "meanders" with excessive commentary from the author.[2]
Kirkus Reviews stated that it is "Thought-provoking and expertly told—and a most promising debut."[3]
The Journal of Pan African Studies stated that the work has "riveting prose".[4]
