The “Hometown” of Black Americans

 After reading the whole book, I find this book is not to my taste, probably because I have read a very similar "Harry Potter" series. When reading this book, I always compare it with the Harry Potter series. Perhaps it is my inherent impression that this book seems to be less than satisfactory compared with Harry Potter, but I feel some other social highlights in this book.

  Sunny Nwazue, a native-born African-American, seems to be born with a kind of contradiction. She is the youngest sister in a Nigerian family, but she is also the only one born and raised in New York. All her family members have brown skin, while she "accidentally" has white skin. When she returns to Nigeria, her accent, skin color and behavior show that she is an outsider all the time--even this is her "hometown".

This reminds me of the Chinese people born in the United States. Although they have the appearance of the Chinese people, the education and culture they have received since childhood have made them very different from the Chinese people born in China. And once they return to their "hometown", they are doomed to feel out of place everywhere. 

How to divide a nation? Whether a nation is divided by race or culture is still a controversial issue in the present world, but when the "contradictions" in this book occur in many places in real life, the answer to this question cannot help but make people ponder.
