Manage episode 403972098 series 3545403
In this podcast episode, i engage in a conversation with Helon Habila on his latest novel, Travellers. The conversation begins with the novel's epigraph, a quote from Theodore Adorno, which states that "it is part of morality to not to be at home in one's home". The conversation also touches on issues such as the ethics of exile, the encounters between the Afropolitan and the Afro-refugee in the Global North, the frictions between immigrant roots and rootlessness, the push and pull factors of postcolonial African migrations, and the not-so-simple dynamics of return. Happy listening!
