Exodus

By Tolu Daniel

Blending memoir, cultural criticism, political witnessing, and lyrical reportage, this incisive collection of essays documents the emotional and psychological realities of contemporary African migration.

Exodus is a searching, intimate essay collection about memory, migration, grief, and the fragile idea of home. Moving between Abeokuta, Kansas, and St. Louis, Tolu Daniel maps the emotional terrain of a generation shaped by political unrest, displacement, and longing. These essays revisit childhood fables, family tragedies, nationalist dreams, the aftermath of the EndSARS protests, and the disorientations of diasporic life with lyrical precision and emotional candor. At once deeply personal and sharply observant, Exodus asks what becomes of those who leave home carrying entire countries inside them, and whether belonging is ever truly recoverable once exile begins.
