It was such an easy and interesting reading. My husband visited Ghana a while back and I almost could see his descriptions and her stories alive as I read this book. It was amazing.
We learn about both the traditional and modern forms of slavery in Ghana. I wrote my master thesis on modern slavery and used Ama Darko's Beyond the Horizon! So, we continue to study slavery.
British governor George McLean married a Ghanaian woman although he has a British wife called leticia London but the sad part is Ghanaian woman name was not recorded and British white wife dies of heart attack.. sorry her parents doesn’t learn about the history, I grow up in cape coast and I do liearn about the slave history. The cape coast castle was built by the Europeans and it’s has nothing to do with the locals Africans. It’s a great novel
southern Africa never experienced slavery my sweet darling west Africa did and it's taught in every school even Arabic schools.every GHnNAIJA student knows but I can't speak for the French speaking countries.
@@bismarkadu-num5834, while it was primarily in West Africa, Angola is an example of a Southern African experience of enslavement. Then there's the Arab practice of enslaving our folks from East Africa.
I cried a lot reading this book yet I didn’t want the story to end. Thank you Yaa for birthing this inspiring novel! 🙏🏾
Quey. The unlucky old man. as he dug for the stone, my tears flowed

I don't know about Ghana, but in Southern Africa, we learn about slavery and colonization
southern Africa never experienced slavery my sweet darling west Africa did and it's taught in every school even Arabic schools.every GHnNAIJA student knows but I can't speak for the French speaking countries.

Have you read the book? What did you think? I'm on Kojo' s chapter, so for it is really good.
I just finished the book yesterday. It was amazing
I gave a thumbs down he tells too much of the story!! Spoiler Alert. Such an INCREDIBLE book I read it very quickly x
Great interview. Who is the interviewer?
Roger Reeves, I went to college with him for a sec. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Reeves
I agree that the interviewer is excellent- he does a close reading of many aspects of the book and provides insight that I really appreciated.
I need to read what he reads! omg
I wonder if she speaks twi lol
