  • Ghana Must Go is the debut novel of Taiye Selasi. It was published in 2013, and nominated for an NAACP Image Award. The novel follows the Sai family as they come to terms with their father Kweku Sai's death, and as they work through family troubles. Multiple points of view give insight into the characters' emotions and the repercussions of Kweku’s choices. The Wall Street Journal praised it as "irresistible from the first line". Ghana must go is also a renowned phrase in Ghana and Nigeria. It dates back to history where Ghanaians were deported from Nigeria following a presidential executive order in 1983. The deportation was due to the fear that Ghanaians were taking over Nigerian jobs. Some also believe that it was a retaliation to Ghana after Kofi Abrefa Busia (Prime Minister of Ghana from 1969 to 1972) had first deported a large number of Nigerian migrants from Ghana. This history is mentioned in the book, as well as the Ghana Must Go bag. (en)

Narra le vicende della famiglia Sai, le cui origini affondano nell'Africa occidentale (Ghana marito, Nigeria moglie) ma che si costituisce e vive negli USA. È suddiviso in tre sezioni in cui vengono riportati 1- nascita e sviluppo della famiglia fino alla fuga da essa dell'uomo; 2- che causa la divisione degli stessi componenti anche per l'indipendenza delle singole vite private; 3- e da ultimo il loro ricongiungimento in occasione del funerale imminente. Nel corso della storia l'autrice da conto, a più riprese, delle varie esperienze e drammi personali in cui incorrono, nessuno escluso, i vari famigliari superstiti e non, e di come ognuno a suo modo si trovi a dover fare i conti con le proprie origini, sia familiari che etnico-culturali; ma anche a ritrovare un po' di se stessi nella dimensione famigliare.
