Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a sweeping novel about race, love, identity, and the experience of the immigrant diaspora. The story follows Ifemelu, a confident young Nigerian woman who emigrates to the United States and begins writing a widely-read blog about race in America from the perspective of a Non American Black. Simultaneously, the narrative traces the journey of her first love, Obinze, who attempts life in post 9/11 London as an undocumented immigrant before returning to a newly prosperous Nigeria. Adichie’s prose is electric and unflinching as she dissects American racial politics, hair politics, class dynamics, and the complicated longing for home. Americanah won the National Book Critics Circle Award.
