Inhaltsangabe:

Growing up in London, Ekow Eshun never felt truly at home. Born in Britain to African parents, he found himself caught between two cultures without fully belonging to either. Plagued by the unease of dual identity, he travels to Africa to look for an idea of home - only to discover he's as much of a stranger there as in Britain. The result is a journey that crosses paths with nineteenth-century philosophy, twentieth-century black liberation movements and the psyche of modern, multicultural Britain; a book that combines the intimacy of confession with a sweeping tale of continents and generations - all in pursuit of the answer to the question: where are you from?

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Ekow Eshun is the Artistic Director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts. He appears on BBC's Newsnight Review, and is the former editor of Arena magazine. He was born in 1968 and lives in London.
