Constructing Worlds in Taiye Selasi’s Ghana Must Go
摘要
This chapter analyses Ghana Must Go by Taiye Selasi. After contextualising the notion of Afropolitanism, the chapter investigates the causes and consequences of processes of unworlding and re-worlding as represented in the novel. The first and second sections focus on the colonial and postcolonial legacies of transgenerational trauma, which cause the main characters’ geo-emotional displacement; the third section explores how the characters can complete a process of Bildung and consequent unlearning, approaching a potential condition of re-worlding in the final part of the novel.
