Na África do Sul pós-Apartheid, uma mulher da novíssima elite negra desfruta das delícias da vida burguesa, entre elas a contratação de uma empregada… branca, para espanto das vizinhas de seu condomínio exclusivo. O incidente escancara as feridas mal cicatrizadas de um país que ainda não se conciliou com o passado colonial e nem consegue incorporar as perspectivas dos muitos povos ancestrais em uma sociedade que se pretende (ou finge ser) ocidental e democrática.

The last in the Afrolit Now series, The Sins of The Fathers by Zukiswa Wanner is narrated by a man dealing with immense grief. When he’s unable to heal from the trauma of loss, Akani begins to question his and his father’s role as a parent and, in doing so, awakens to the patterns between them. In trying to avoid being like his father as a husband and as a parent, did he inadvertently become exactly the man he wished not to be? And what secrets lie untold? As he grieves, he wonders whether he was ill-advised to keep secrets that may unwittingly hurt his family.
