Chimamanda is a world renowned writer who comes from Nigeria.
She has been awarded orange prize
Among other honors.
She got her masters from The American universities.As with the themes of racism and identity, Americanah allows Adichie to observe and critique the cultures of Nigeria, America, and England through scenes that are sometimes humorous and sometimes tragic.
In Nigeria (particularly Lagos), Adichie focuses on the culture of corruption and materialism, where most people get rich through fraud or corruption tion, officials expect bribes, and women date or marry a man based on his wealth and prestige.
Everyone is expected to grovel before the rich, who are expected to ostentatiously show off their wealth by visiting Western countries and sending their children to Western schools.
This leads to a Nigeria where essentials are lacking for most of the population (there is rarely consistent light or water), and Western culture and whiteness are idealized over Nigerian culture.
In America, Adichie focuses mostly on the racial hierarchy and prejudices Ifemelu discovers there.
Overall, Chimamanda in this novel tries forcefully to depict feminism as a solution for all the problems that comes to every society to haunt the women.
