ShalayeFC: Critical Analysis of Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi

​Join us for a close reading and discussion of Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing, a sweeping multigenerational novel tracing the descendants of two half-sisters across three centuries—from 18th-century Ghana through the transatlantic slave trade and into the present day.

​Together, we will reflect on memory as a living archive shaped by what is remembered, forgotten, inherited, and imagined, as we consider what it means to search for home across time and distance.
