Second-Class Citizen by Buchi Emecheta
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
Buchi Emecheta, who was born in Nigeria to Ibo parents, is well-known for her multifaceted novels about black women fighting to maintain their identities and build viable lives for themselves and their children. According to The New York Times, she writes with nuance, power, and a great deal of compassion. The Slave Girl, The Family, Wedding Price, and The Joys of Motherhood are among her many novels.
