Abstract:

The quest of this paper is to illuminate and celebrate Adichie’s Americanah as a text that opens our eyes to the challenges of African Diaspora in America. The need to offer different latitude of identity is aptly captured in Taya Zelase’s 2011 essay titled Afropolitanism, which has become a daring resurrection of debates that surrounds the ambiguity of contemporary African Diaspora. The need to analyse and interpret Afropolitanism as an emerging diaspora theory, which speaks to Africans diaspora was best located in the works of Adichie Chimamanda titled Americanah (2013).

Abstract:

Although the social construction of the human hair varies from culture to culture, the symbolic function of hair varies from person to person. In Adichie’s Americanah, the characters are primarily defined by their hair before the construction of their race, career and personality. The human hair becomes the premise for brotherhood and sisterhood in. Many episodes take place in the salon, thereafter a person’s hair is qualified as either good or bad. The theoretical framework for this paper is New Historicism which interrogates social life and power relations among people in the society. In thi

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Americanah provides provocative reflections on intertextuality and becoming by exploring the potentially transformative power of “blog-writing.” Through a combined reading of Mayra Rivera’s Poetics of the Flesh and Adichie’s Americanah, this article details intersections between the virtual and the material; writing in the (imagined “other-wordly”) blogosphere about the organic matter of hair.

Abstract Today African literature exhibits and incorporates the decentred realities of African writers themselves as they negotiate and engage with multifarious forms of diaspora experience, dislocation, otherness, displacement, identity, and exile. National cultures in the twenty-first century have undergone significant decentralization. New African writing is now generated in and outside Africa by writers who themselves are products of transcultural forms and must now interrogate existence in global cities, transnational cultures, and the challenges of immigrants in these cities.

Abstract:

Adichie’s Americanah is one of the African novels whose characters and settings traverse cultures. The author herself is a product of trans-cultural education and uses this medium to draw global attention to the difficulty faced by migrants. Most of the African diaspora characters work hard to gain visibility in a culture that obliterates the personality of migrants irrespective of gender and academic achievements. Adichie’s representation of the characters captures much of the realities told by migrants navigating and negotiating life outside their countries of origin. Through personal will t

AbstractMany variants of feminism have been branded over time and that has given feminism a multiple identity.

This article seeks to explore the discourse-semantics of two selected excerpts from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah with a focus on reference chains study. The choice to focus on studying reference chains in the selected excerpts aims at first appraising the way Adichie has used them to realize texture within her studied texts. It second aims at finding the extent to which references have contributed to the encoding of underlying meanings therein. To arrive at this, the research has appealed to the mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology. Through the quantitative methodology, the

The postcolonial subject is one whose life is rife with contradictions. These contradictions result from a torsion of Western and indigenous values and culture in the individual. The woman as a postcolonial subject seems to deal with more of these incongruities in almost every sphere as she negotiates life in the postcolony and other societies that facilitated colonization and still does in some aspects. Several writers have sought to capture the uniqueness of the postcolonial female in contemporary times, bringing to the fore issues that plague her. The phenomenon of “imperial aesthetics” (ba

The theory adopted for this study is pragmatic context.

Abstract The article analyzes two novels of migration by Nigerian women authors in the context of Afropolitanism: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah (2013) and Sefi Atta’s A Bit of Difference (2013). It is argued that Afropolitanism obscures the reasons why migration from Africa to the West has been increasing in the decades since independence, rather than decreasing. In comparing the two novels, the article focuses on empathy towards and solidarity between fellow Nigerians, which has been seen by Nigerian philosopher Chielozona Eze as crucial for building African civil society and function

Racial issues have been a big problem in the United States of America since the slavery era. Although racism still exists in its society, many people are still migrating to America. For example, non-American Black women go there to try their luck to get a better education, a better job, and a better standard of living. However, some of them experience racism and gender inequality at work, as well as everywhere else in American society. Nevertheless, these experiences of racism and inequality may well be what motivates them to gain empowerment and gender equality. The qualitative method is used

Abstract Described as one of the leading voices of her generation, Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has become one of the many African authors who through their narratives have succeeded in challenging the literary canon both in Europe and North America while redefining African literature from the diaspora. Her specific use of the English language as well as transcultural writing strategies allow Adichie to skilfully represent what it means to live as a “translated being”.

Abstract:

O artigo busca, através das histórias dos cabelos de mulheres negras, presentes nos livros Esse Cabelo: A tragicomédia de um cabelo crespo que cruza fronteiras (2015), de Djamilia Pereira de Almeida e Americanah (2014) de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, discutir a identidade e necessidade de descolonização do pensamento na construção e desconstrução da autoimagem da mulher negra. Para tanto, estabelecemos diálogos com Bauman (2013), Hall (2013), Bhabha (1998), Spivak (2005) e Fanon (2008) para discutir os constructos identitários de sujeitos subalternos, pós-modernos e pós-coloniais, trançando a sub

O objetivo do presente texto é refletir sobre o processo de negação e/ou afirmação identitária das protagonistas em Impressões de uma infância (Cadernos Negros, no 36), de autoria de Silvana Martins (2013) e no romance Americanah, de Chimamanda Adichie (2014), a partir da relação com os seus cabelos crespos. Para tanto, realizamos a pesquisa bibliográfica e nos norteamos em estudos oriundos da literatura em interface com outras áreas do conhecimento. Com base nos estudos de Cuti, Florentina Souza, Jailma Moreira, Ana Rita Santiago e Eduardo Duarte, situamos a noção de literatura negra/afro-bra

Abstract:

O presente artigo discute as práticas tradutórias através da análise do romance Americanah, de Chimamanda N. Adichie, levando em conta sua tradução do inglês para o português. A narrativa em tela aponta estranhamentos por parte da protagonista no que diz respeito a, principalmente, compreensões sobre raça e gênero nos dois países implicados, ou seja, Nigéria e Estados Unidos, e como os mesmos aparecem transpostos nas duas línguas em questão. Assim, ao longo do trabalho, foram destacados exemplos e opções tradutórias na versão em português da narrativa que ilustram como tais escolhas inegavelme

Abstract:

O deslocamento é algo constante na história humana, mas a onda migratória que marca nosso século, e que até mesmo podemos considerar como o grande tema destas primeiras décadas dos anos 2000, traz consigo uma complexidade talvez nunca vista. Este panorama tem proporcionado discussões profundas sobre o tema da identidade e das identificações no campo dos Estudos Literários, pois não são raras as personagens com identidades fragmentadas e diaspóricas na ficção contemporânea, além de outras situações de ruptura e deslocamento apresentadas pelas narrativas. Na presente análise, procuro estabelecer

Abstract:

This paper examines two works that anticipate Africa-centred futures as positive and possible, without promising utopia. Americanah and After the Flare both embrace contradiction and complexity. Furthermore, their treatment of societies (mis)shaped by historical violence includes acknowledgement of their own imbrication in global structures of capitalist modernity. Against the grim backdrop of rising inequality, resurgent racism and the effects of climate change – a moment in which dystopic visions tend to predominate – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Deji Bryce Olukotun’s novels embody a kind of
