520 When Nadia Owusu was two years old her mother abandoned
her and her baby sister and fled from Tanzania back to the
US. When she was thirteen her beloved Ghanaian father died
of cancer. She and her sister were left alone, with a
stepmother they didn't like, adrift.?Nadia Owusu is a
woman of many languages, homelands and identities. She
grew up in Rome, Dar-es-Salaam, Addis Ababa, Kumasi,
Kampala and London. And for every new place there was a
new language, a new identity and a new home. At times she
has felt stateless, motherless and identity-less. At
others, she has had multiple identities at war within her.
It's no wonder she started to feel fault lines in her
sense of self. It's no wonder that those fault lines
eventually ruptured. Aftershocks is the account of how she
hauled herself out of the wreckage. It is the intimate
story behind the news of immigration and division
dominating contemporary politics. Nadia Owusu's
astonishingly moving and incredibly timely memoir is a
nuanced portrait of globalisation from the inside in a
fractured world in crisis
