Growing up Guyanese
A Memoir About Growing up as a First Generation Indo-Caribbean in America.
Overview
This memoir specifically highlights the experiences of a female of Indo-Guyanese descent growing up in the Midwest. Often confused for being an immigrant East Indian, Ashti offers a brief exposure to a thriving culture that is consistently overlooked. Ultimately, she aims to show others what it is like to be a West Indian living in the United States.
Themes and Content
As she explains her ethnic background, Ashti also covers the nuances of growing up Guyanese—the struggles she and others like herself face and the comical interactions they have all likely experienced. As it progresses, the book delves deeper into a theme of finding oneself. This occurs as the author reaches adulthood and makes discoveries that all millennials must make in their lifetime.
Audience and Message
Highly anecdotal, Growing Up Guyanese offers any reader regardless of ethnicity something to which he or she can relate.
