Effia will be married off to an English colonial, and will live in comfort in the sprawling, palatial rooms of Cape Coast Castle, raising half-caste children who will be sent abroad to be educated in England before returning to the Gold Coast to serve as administrators of the Empire. Her sister, Esi, will be imprisoned beneath Effia in the Castle's women's dungeon, and then shipped off on a boat bound for America, where she will be sold into slavery. Stretching from the tribal wars of Ghana to slavery and Civil War in America, from the coal mines in the north to the Great Migration to the streets of 20th century Harlem, Yaa Gyasi's has written a modern masterpiece, a novel that moves through histories and geographies and--with outstanding economy and force--captures the troubled spirit of our own nation"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000775876 650_0 $$aWomen$$zGhana$$vFiction. 000775876 650_0 $$aSlavery$$vFiction. 000775876 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xHistory$$vFiction. 000775876 651_0 $$aGhana$$xHistory$$y18th century$$vFiction. 000775876 655_7 $$aDomestic fiction.$$2lcgft 000775876 655_7 $$aHistorical fiction.$$2lcgft 000775876 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3607.Y37$$iH66$$i2016 000775876 85642 $$3Cover image$$u9781101947135.jpg 000775876 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:775876$$pGLOBAL_SET 000775876 980__ $$aBIB 000775876 980__ $$aBOOK
