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.
