Owusu is a woman of many languages  homelands and identities. She grew up in Rome 
Dar-es-Salaam  Addis Ababa  Kumasi  Kampala and London. And for every new place there was a new
language  a new identity and a new home. At times she has felt stateless  motherless and
identity-less. At others  she has had multiple identities at war within her. It's no wonder she
started to feel fault lines in her sense of self. It's no wonder that those fault lines
eventually ruptured. Aftershocks is the account of how she hauled herself out of the wreckage.
It is the intimate story behind the news of immigration and division dominating contemporary
politics. It is a nuanced portrait of globalisation from the inside in a fractured world in
crisis.
