Second-Class Citizen by Buchi Emecheta
Recently reissued classic tale of a Nigerian woman who overcomes strict tribal domination only to encounter hardships of immigration.
In the late 1960s, Adah, a spirited, resourceful woman, manages to move her
family to London. Seeking an independent life for herself and her children, she
encounters racism and hard truths about being a new citizen.
Providing for her growing family, struggling to survive and negotiating everyday injustices along the way, Adah still resolves that she will never give up her dream of becoming a writer.
'Bold, brave, defiant... its exploration of blackness, the white gaze, and the development of the main character Adah's sense of self is extremely powerful' Gal-dem
