Abstract

Basing itself on the African belief system’s postulation of three dimensions of experience, this paper argues that Ayi Kwei Armah’s Two Thousand Seasons articulates the journey of a healing community from the realm of the godhead through the realm of the ancestors into the realm of the living. The journey commences with an initial stability in the realm of the godhead that is disrupted by internal and external forces. While the resulting southward migration of the people of Anoa mimics the journey through the African belief systems’ ancestral region, the crossing of the bog symbolizes the birth of a healing community.
