Description of Homegoing:
Progressing through 300 years of Ghanaian and American history, the narrative unfolds in a series of concise portraits the progeny of two sisters, Effia and Esi, that capture pivotal moments in each individual’s life. Every portrait reads like a short story unto itself, yet Gyasi imbues the work with a remarkably seamless feel. Through the combined historical perspectives of each descendant, the author reveals that racism is often rooted in tribalism, greed, and the lust for power.
Well researched, beautifully told, and easy to read.
