Ghana Must Go

Dawn pierces suburban Accra as Kweku Sai—golden-handed surgeon who once stitched Boston operating rooms and Lagos clinics—drops in his garden, and an ultrasound of grief ripples from Ghana to Lagos, London, and New York, summoning the wife and four grown children he abandoned years ago. On jet bridges and dusty verandas, this trans-Atlantic clan faces how visa queues, hospital glass ceilings, and whispered accents carved Immigrant Rights, Health Equity, and Racial Justice fault lines through every report card and first kiss they ever claimed. Taiye Selasi’s buoyant debut braids city lights with ancestral drumbeats, proving one father’s exit wound can throb like a second heartbeat until truth cauterizes it. Midnight jollof in Lagos, snow-sharp mornings in Brooklyn, and exam halls in London crowd their memories, teaching that home isn’t a pin on a map but a living muscle you choose to strengthen. Yet one question crackles brighter than Accra’s harmattan sky: will they reach each other in time to seize the legacy tucked inside their father’s final breath?
