The Bitches are traveling this episode—from Ghana to Baltimore to Harlem to Edweso to Alabama, as they discuss the brilliant and poignant novel, Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. Ginnye and Raven discuss the enduring effects of slavery; the double oppression of white supremacy and patriarchy; the importance of names; and how it all relates to recent political events. Plus, learn what the bitches are up to in 2021! Book & Bitch is a bi-monthly podcast that combines all the juicy bits of the book with the insightfulness of the forward. Highlighting author backstories with cultural context and writing theory, we’re the book club you’ve always wanted to join. A reader lives thousands of lives. And we bitch about them all.
