In the narrative The Wonderful Aventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands, Mrs. Seacole travels to London as a young woman and later as a widow trying to join the war effort. I find it intersting that she experiences much less racial prejudice in England than she does from the Americans in Panama. England serves as an important place in her identity because although she is Jamiacan, she still feels like she has a place in England. This can be seen when she's trying to join the war effort in Chapter 13: "I could be useful to my own 'sons,' suffering for a cause it was so glorious to fight and bleed for!" (71).
