Our Sister Killjoy by Ama Ata Aidoo

4.0

Sissie, the student protagonist of this prose-poetry novel(la), is a Ghanian exploring Germany, England and Europe on a sponsored visit and her experiences as a traveller in the "civilised world" of colonisers of the African continent. Ama Ata Aidoo explores Europe as a place of exile for Sissie, somewhere to report back from, somewhere that isn't the idealised place "West" that is held up/onto by many back home. This was published in 1977 although written years earlier.
