مشخصات پژوهش

The current study pivots on the impact of hybridity, cultural identity, and diaspora on the self-identity of African women immigrants and their interactions with others in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah, NoViolet Bulawayo’s We Need New Names, and Doreen Baingana’s Tropical Fish. The three African diasporic authors, namely Adichie, Bulawayo, and Baingana portray women characters who emigrate from Africa to the America. The three novels, namely Americanah, We Need New Names, and Tropical Fish have been selected due to the existence of omnipresent peculiarities, such as immigration of African women characters to the America whose movements oscillate between both spaces and their identity transformation. This study investigates identity transformation among African women characters who interact with American diasporic space and utilize survival procedures while being in the America. This research further discovers how post-immigration women characters associate with both their hostland and homeland.
