Foundations of U.S. Slavery: Rationalizations and Intergenerational Impact

In this session, we will explore the foundations of the US Slave Trade within the context of Homegoing. Beginning in West Africa in the late 1700s, the book examines the Mid-Atlantic slave trade and foundations of racial hierarchies in the U.S. We’ll discuss the foundations of slavery in the U.S., including the rationalizations and intergenerational impact.

Beyond Victim and Oppressor: Complicity and Agency in Racism

In this session, we will explore the role of complicity, resistance, and agency in Homegoing. This session focuses on the intergenerational psychological, economic, legal, and social impact of slavery on Americans. Slavery and legal segregation are often simplified as “victims” and “oppressors” (or the ‘good guys’ & ‘bad guys’), yet Yaa Gyasi shares the complexities and nuances of racial hierarchies. We’ll explore the role of power among people who are oppressed.
