520    "Set in a small Nova Scotia town settled by former slaves,
       [the novel] depicts several generations of one family 
       bound together and torn apart by blood, faith, time, and 
       fate. Structured as a triptych, Africaville chronicles the
       lives of three generations of the Sebolt family--Kath Ella,
       her son Omar/Etienne, and her grandson Warner--whose 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 Ella's ancestors 
       established a new home in Nova Scotia. Like her ancestors,
       Kath Ella's life is shaped by hardship--she struggles to 
       conceive and to provide for her family during the long, 
       bitter Canadian winters. She must also contend with the 
       locals' lingering suspicions about the dark-skinned 
       "outsiders" who live in their midst. Kath Ella's fierce 
       love for her son, Omar, cannot help her overcome the 
       racial prejudices that linger in this remote, tight-knit 
       place. As he grows up, the rebellious Omar refutes the 
       past and decides to break from the family, threatening to 
       upend all that Kath Ella and her people have tried to 
       build. Over the decades, each successive generation drifts
       further from Africaville, yet they take a piece of this 
       indelible place with them as they make their way to 
       Montreal, Vermont, and beyond, to the deep South of 
       America. As it explores notions of identity, passing, 
       cross-racial relationships, the importance of place, and 
       the meaning of home, Africaville tells the larger story of
       the black experience in parts of Canada and the United 
       States"--|cProvided by publisher.
