When Ndondwa, a young woman from Malawi, lands a coveted role at the United Nations in New York, she believes she’s stepping into the future she’s always dreamed of. But what begins as a career milestone quickly unravels into something deeper: a reckoning with identity, power, and the weight of history.
Nthanda has spent her career at the intersection of global development, technology, and social change. Her work spans continents, and her purpose remains rooted in the global south: advancing equity, and building systems which ensure all people can thrive without limits.
Early readers across continents are calling African in America a bold, intimate, and necessary work—an exploration of identity, displacement, and belonging.
Through Ndondwa’s eyes, Nthanda offers one of the most nuanced and insightful examinations of Blackness in America I’ve ever read. This is the kind of book that changes how we see ourselves — and each other.
This is a novel about migration and ambition, yes — but also about the quiet revolutions of identity that happen when we step into rooms not built for us. African in America is destined to become a modern classic.
