Homegoing

Deeply moving and poetic as it tows you through the slow realities and unrealities of family, personal history, pain, and what it feels like to be on the lesser side of power against the backdrop of an unsimplified Gold Coast of Africa, shifting into America. The weights of shame, helplessness, social exclusion, family judgment, ambition, fear, triumph, and indignation are heavy in this book. Generations are explored from the perspective of those struggling through them, and fully imparted is a knowledge deeper and more permanent than any facts of the era and events could convey.
