Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s latest novel delves into the Mixed experience through a Nigerian woman who, after more than a decade in American academia, chooses to go back home to Nigeria. In this REVIEW, the LA Times names it among the finest novels ‘you’ll read all year.’
Americanah sits within Mixed Roots Stories' ongoing coverage of fiction and writing that speaks to multiracial and mixed-heritage lives. Like the other books and authors featured here, Adichie's novel invites readers to consider how identity shifts across borders, cultures, and the places we call home.
