Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s newest novel explores the Mixed experience through a Nigerian woman who, after more than ten years in American academia, decides to return to her home country of Nigeria. In this REVIEW, the LA Times places it among the best 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.
