Joke Silva Instagram – “A Ladder of Bones” is a searing, unforgettable novel that captures the brutal legacy of anti-Blackness spanning colonialism, segregation, imperialism, and systemic racism across continents and generations. In vivid, Afro-Diasporic language, Dr. Bunmi Oyinsan weaves the powerful journeys of Black Atlantic characters struggling against civil war, economic hardship, police brutality, and forced migration.
From Sierra Leone to “Ile Ifa,” Halifax to Jamaica, Toronto to the U.S., these stories echo a shared reality: justice is elusive, love is rare, and survival is resistance. In a world riddled with barriers, broken systems, and smug charity, A Ladder of Bones reads like something Fanon might have written harrowing, poetic, and heartbreakingly true.
