'Hugely readable' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review
Where do we come from? What defines us? And how might knowledge of deep history affect our understanding of our identity?
In Motherland, Luke Pepera traverses thousands of years to reveal the aspects of African identity that have characterised this epic history. From hip-hop's origin in traditional African word games to female-led societies, and from Mansa Musa to Chadwick Boseman, this is a personal, relevant and beautifully told account of the stories that have shaped Africa.
