Présentation de l'éditeur

  • Classic novel on African immigration. Analysed in books by feminist scholars such as Donna Harraway
In the late 1960's, Adah, a spirited and 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.

'Second Class Citizen pales a lot of academic feminist writing into insignificance. - The Guardian

'Emecheta's prose has a shimmer of originality, of English being reinvented... Issues of survival lie inherent in her material and give her tales weight.' - John Updike
