Akwaeke EmeziA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Consider the title of the novel. Why might have Emezi chosen this as the novel’s title? How might they be gesturing at preconceived definitions of the word and how it is used in the novel?
