Join us for our fourth book club gathering on November 16th, as we discuss Chain Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah 📚

Chain Gang All Stars is set in a dystopian future where prison inmates can participate in the CAPE (Criminal Action Penal Entertainment) program to fight for their freedom. If the inmates can survive all matches, then they can be released from Prison. A highly anticipated book by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Chain-Gang All-Stars, presents the undeniable truth of the American penal system: exploitation, systemic racism, capitalism, mass incarceration. This story is told through gritty action-packed storytelling with footnotes of real-world statistics and actual verbiage from the US Constitution. Warning to our readers, there are gruesome fight scenes.

The SAMASAMA Book Club was created to delve into the literary works of our diaspora authors, writers, and poets. Writings are chosen quarterly by participants and meetups are set in a non-structured format to facilitate open and organic conversation.
