Osiris Rising, Armah’s sixth novel, is structured after Africa’s oldest narrative, the Isis-Osiris myth cycle. Traveling to Africa on a search for lifework and love, Ast, an African American scholar, gets immersed in history as living continuity. In a pillaged society where slave raiders’ heirs masquerade as aid donors, and colonies are disguised as nations, Ast still finds her home in a quiet community working to bring the continent’s people together. The love of friends focused on the making of an African future absorbs her pained consciousness of a world destroyed.
