A Kind of Homecoming is a memoir written by Eustace Edward Ricardo Braithwaite, a Guyanese novelist, diplomat, and teacher. The book describes Braithwaite's return to his home country of Guyana after spending many years living and working abroad.

He also discusses the political and social changes that occurred in Guyana during his absence, including the rise of socialism and the struggles of the Afro-Guyanese community. Through his personal experiences and observations, Braithwaite provides a vivid portrait of Guyana and its people, as well as an insightful commentary on the challenges facing postcolonial societies.
