Verdict: stick
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is the author of 477 pages of narrative on love and other things: on Nigeria and being Nigerian, on being both Nigerian and American, on being a Nigerian living in America, on global citizenship, race, Obama and black hair angst. For the purposes of tracing her sphere of influence, she is Nigerian, from Nigeria. Not African please! Being African has come to mean many different things, but being Nigerian is more tangible. The distinction is important not because one is trying to be difficult but because the real intention of definitions must be to make things clearer and not more convoluted. Adichie’s new book, Americanah, is about definitions.
