More about the book

The narrative explores the development of diasporic consciousness through the experiences of Ifemelu and Obinze. Ifemelu's journey is particularly significant as she navigates her identity while living in the USA, using a blog to address race and gender issues. Her reflections on displacement and cultural identity culminate in her return to Nigeria, where she starts a new blog, highlighting her feelings of foreignness within her own culture. This analysis utilizes cultural and gender studies to examine the complexities of contemporary displacement and its effects on individuals.
