Structured as a triptych, Africaville chronicles the lives of three generations of the Sebolt familyâKath Ella, her son Omar/Etienne, and her grandson Warnerâwhose lives unfold against the tumultuous events of the twentieth century from the Great Depression of the 1930s, through the social protests of the 1960s to the economic upheavals in the 1980s.A century earlier, Kath Ellaâs ancestors established a new home in Nova Scotia. Like her ancestors, Kath Ellaâs life is shaped by hardshipâshe struggles to conceive and to provide for her family during the long, bitter Canadian winters. She must also contend with the localsâ lingering suspicions about the dark-skinned âoutsidersâ who live in their midst.
