Short response essay

From book "Lose Your Mother", Hartman concludes that “My future was entangled with it [Africa], just as it was entangled  with every other place on the globe where people were struggling to live and hoping to thrive”  (pg. 233). What does she mean? How does the material we have examined in class help to explain why she comes to this conclusion? Also note on pg. 105 where she quotes Kohain, who says “Everywhere in the world African peopleare in the struggle.”
