We are told "it takes two to be a slave". I will share with you what the book club evening was like in a little cafe in Johannesburg, early 2024. On this specific evening I discussed the book Homegoing, written by Yaa Gyasi in 2016. This book is her debut. She won National Book Critics Circle's John Leonard Prize for Best First book with Homegoing. She was only 26 when she won this prize. I prepared questions to discuss with people who also had read the book. My intention with this book club is to hear what other people have to say in answer to questions I have with regards to the book. This episode is about the main theme of this book which is the effects of slavery on the lives of many African people. The outlook of this book brought me to a history of slavery: Born in Blackness by Howard W. French, Black American artist Kara Walker and a song titled come home, come home - bra fie by Fuse ODG. The group consisted of mainly white people, but was at last joined by an African American man, who joined the conversation with meaningful words.
