The reverse migration back to Africa has characteristics which are very similar to events that occur in //Their Eyes Were Watching God//. Janie, the main character in the novel, who is also African-African, goes through many challenges in her journey to find freedom and harmony. In that, Janie travels from place to place and faces oppression (racial discrimination). She ends up going back to Eatonville-which was like her natural habitat (a Black community)-where she finds her harmony. This can relate to the Black movement back to Africa, since African-Americans only wanted justice and to be able to prosper as the whites did. They ended up finding the most convenient lifestyle, one with some peace and independence, to be back in Africa, and the original society they had lived in prior to the Great Migration to the West.
