Adwoa

Adwoa, arrives in a foreign country to learn that she is regarded by her school mates as a different person. At school the children laugh at her. She comes home one day and asks her mother why the children call her African.

Adwoas concerns are the problems of mainly every African child. They are often humiliated by their peers. They are made to believe that they are backward. Because of this ridiculous humiliation, many African children shun their culture. Some they refuse to eat their native dishes, wear heir native garb, and even refuse to speak their mother tongue. Adwoa is resilient and is thus admired for retaining elements of her culture even in the midst of another dominant culture

Ghana, is known to be the friendliest country in the world.
But do we get back the same treatment accorded to us when we travel?

One of the answers to this question comes from the point of view of Adwoa as she expresses herself in the book.

Adwoa echoes the sentiments of other Africans in the Diaspora. Her voice has become their voices, her concerns are their concerns, her problems are their problems.

Adwoa should be in the mind of every child and adult irrespective of race or color.
