AFRICA BOOK LINK
A tremendous energy pervades this collection...a portrait of a writer deeply engaged with ideology, actively exploring, critiquing, questioning and challenging dominant narratives through her work. Discussions of race, gender, immigration, class, war (both the Biafran War and the Nigerian war novel) and history predominate, alongside an excellent chapter by Cristina Cruz-Gutierrez on the politics of hair.
TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
A much-needed critical reassessment of [Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's] literary and intellectual production as a whole...Silvana Carotenuto's reflections on Adichie's responsibility as a writer (169-184), or the analysis of 'hair politics' in Americanah by Cristina Cruz-Gutiérrez (245-62) are only some examples of the brilliant critical moves being made in the volume.
TRANSNATIONAL LITERATURE
