The Dilemma of a Ghost book by Ama Ata Aidoo

The Dilemma of a Ghost is a groundbreaking play that explores the cultural conflict that arises when Ato, a Ghanaian man educated abroad, returns home with his African American wife, Eulalie. While Ato expects acceptance, Eulalie struggles to understand Ghanaian customs, family expectations, and traditional gender roles, leading to tension within the family and community.

Ama Ata Aidoo uses this personal conflict to examine deeper themes of identity, migration, cultural misunderstanding, and the legacy of the African diaspora. The play highlights how love and marriage can be challenged by cultural expectations on both sides of the Atlantic. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
