Yaa Gyasi’s 2016 novel “Homegoing” is set in both West Africa and North America, and follows two half sisters through several hundred years of history on both continents. The African sections of the book take place in a region that was called the Gold Coast by its European colonizers until 1957, when the country became an independent nation. What is the name of that country today?
- A Liberia
- B Benin
- C Senegal
- D Ghana
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
From Michiko Kakutani’s review of the book:
The novel features alternating chapters, set on the Gold Coast of Africa (which would later become Ghana, where Ms. Gyasi was born) and in America (where she grew up and went to school). It traces the lives of two half sisters, named Effia and Esi, and their offspring.
