Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie follows the lives of Ifemelu and Obinze, two young lovers who leave Nigeria for the U.S. and the UK in search of a better future. As Ifemelu navigates the complexities of race and identity in America, Obinze faces the struggles of being an undocumented immigrant in London. After fifteen years apart, they reunite in a newly democratic Nigeria, rekindling their love and rediscovering their shared roots. A powerful exploration of race, belonging, and the African diaspora, Americanah raises profound questions about identity and the concept of home.
Summary of Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
From the award-winning author of We Should All Be Feminists and Half of a Yellow Sun—the story of two Nigerians making their way in the U.S. and the UK, raising universal questions of race, belonging, the overseas experience for the African diaspora, and the search for identity and a home. Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they depart military-ruled Nigeria for the West. Beautiful, self-assured Ifemelu heads for America, where despite her academic success, she is forced to grapple with what it means to be black for the first time. Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, they reunite in a newly democratic Nigeria, and reignite their passion—for each other and for their homeland.
