サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Few novels capture the profound, generational impact of enslavement like Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. This sweeping, multi-generational saga follows two sisters—one sold into slavery, the other remaining in Ghana—and traces the ripple effects of their fates across centuries.
In this episode of Rooted in Story, I reflect on how Gyasi’s storytelling is layered, nuanced, and deeply human. As a Black woman, I was both captivated and devastated by the journey of these families and the haunting legacy of history. And that ending? Breathtaking. Let’s unpack this powerful novel and sit with the truths it reveals about Black America.
