A Literary Icon's Search for Ancestral Roots in 1960s Post-Colonial Ghana
In the fifth volume of her celebrated autobiographical series, Maya Angelou chronicles her five years living in Accra, Ghana, during the early 1960s. Joining a vibrant community of African American expatriates ("Returnees") during Ghana's post-independence surge under Kwame Nkrumah, Angelou worked at the University of Ghana and raised her college-age son, Guy.
Angelou explores the poignant complexities of identity, racial pride, and the emotional gap between African Americans and continental Africans, offering a deeply personal reflection on what it truly means to find a home.
Why You’ll Love This Book
Maya Angelou writes with lyrical eloquence, historical insight, and unmatched personal intimacy. A masterpiece of African American literature and travel writing for readers of civil rights history and classic memoirs.
