We Need New Names

We Need New Names
We Need New Names

Childhood innocence clashes with harsh global realities.

You might find "We Need New Names" eye-opening as it captures the perspective of a young girl navigating two worlds: the impoverished yet vibrant life in Zimbabwe and the starkly different challenges in America. Noviolet Bulawayo presents a story that's both tender and jarring, giving you a look into the hopes and hardships faced by those who dare to dream of a life beyond their borders. It's a contemporary odyssey that speaks to identity, displacement, and the longing for home.
