Historical Truths Portrayed in Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing
The novel Homegoing is a historical fiction that starts during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The story talk about two half-sisters Esi and Effia as well as their descendants who are separated by slavery, ethnic rivalries, and many other issues. Effia marries Cape Coast castle British governor, while Esi, her half-sister was sold into slavery in the United States. This story resonates strongly with minorities who have long grappled with the effects of slavery and how their stories are told in the modern-day America. I have personally wondered about the roles of black people in enabling slavery as well as the unrelenting grandiosity with which the white man carted away millions of black people into slavery like cartons of milk. In fact, Alyssa Rosenberg, a Washington Post writer while making a comparison between two historical novels stated that ““Homegoing” is an excellent companion piece to the miniseries, deepening the questions “Roots” raises about what it means to recover lost histories.” Some historical truths inherent in the Homegoing include: importance of cultural heritage among all people, the overarching influence of the family unit among, and the fact that inequality in its various forms has long existed. – Thesis Statement (Where the 3 main ideas are) – last line of introduction
