http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2017v37n2p318Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, escritora nigeriana, conhecida por seus textos feministas, se inscreve num feminismo que trava uma luta contra um preconceito orgânico que entre outras coisas, promove o apagamento da mulher como pessoa na sociedade. Ela assume o papel da alteridade ao dar vida a personagens diferentes de si, mas ao mesmo tempo iguais a ela por serem mulheres. Em seu discurso We should all be feminists para o canal TEDEux, Adichie, a partir de história de sua vida, traz reflexões sobre o que é ser mulher na Nigéria e no mundo contemporâneo. Esse mesmo olhar é delicadamente traduzido por Chritiane Baum como Sejamos todos feministas.

Abstract:
Famous Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie believes that the role of literature is to instruct and delight. Her realist literary creation focuses on Nigeria’s post-colonial cultural and political reconstruction, as well as race, gender and class in a cross-cultural context, which reflects her Igbo, Nigerian and African “sensibility” and a certain cosmopolitan stance. The present article comprehensively investigates Adichie’s views on literature, creative practice and the dissemination and acceptance of her works to achieve an in-depth understanding of the writer.

Abstract:
The object of this article is the English-language multicultural prose of the late XX – early XXI centuries. The subject is the situation of clash of cultures. The research material is based on individual short stories by the contemporary US-Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie published in the book “The Thing Around Your Neck” (2009). The goal of this article lies in determination and analysis of the peculiarities of artistic expression and functionality of the situation of clash of cultures in the writer’s short stories. The relevance is substantiated by the following factors: 1) clash of cultures is typical for the relationships in modern multipolar world during the globalization era, thus it is relevant in literary works of the authors of the XX–XXI centuries;  2) literary studies currently indicate heightened interest in covering various aspects of fictional multicultural prose; 3) Adichie is a remarkable figure in the modern literary process. The short stories by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie are unique in their reference to signal trends in the development of the English-language literature, and thus are a relevant in the context of studying the designated topic. Unlike the works of multicultural writers of the second half of the XX century, which have repeatedly been the object of scientific research, the multicultural prose of the late XX – early XXI centuries is poorly studied. The scientific novelty is defined by the fact that the analysis of short stories from the collection “The Thing Around Your Neck” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which is not translated into the Russian language, is carried out for the first time within the Russian literally studies. The conclusion is made that the situation of clash of cultures in Adichie’s stories becomes the factor that induces mental crisis in the minds of the characters. There is no constructive dialogue of cultures, and their clash leads the characters to either the loss or substitution of identity.

Abstract:
Through this article, the main purpose has been to discover who is a feminist between Flora Nwapa and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. To carry out the research, life of the main character of each author’s novel has been scrutinized. Consequently when it comes to Flora Nwapa, as Amaka is the main character of her novel entitled One is Enough, Amaka’s life has been under scrutiny. As for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, life of Olanna, who is the main character of her novel: Half of a Yellow Sun, has been investigated as well. The analysis has been conducted through lenses of two literary approaches namely Feminism and Womanism.At the end of the analysis it has been brought to light that Flora Nwapa is a feminist because Amaka has a feminist behaviour. As a matter of fact, Amaka has not tolerated any mistreatments from her husband as well as her mother-in-law. Apart from what has been mentioned above, she has beaten her husband back when he tried to beat her. She has divorced Obiora in order to go to Lagos in search for a better life. In Lagos, Amaka has also refused remarrying a priest called Mclaid, the father of her twin boys. Unlike Flora Nwapa, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has been labelled a womanist because her character called Olanna has been tolerant to her mother-in-law as well as her husband regardless the abuse has undergone in her marriage. In fact, she has forgiven her husband although he has had a child by another woman brought to him from the village by his mother. Olanna has not reacted against the insults she has suffered from her mother-in-law.

Abstract:
In March of 2017, best-selling Nigerian author and feminist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, in an interview with Britain’s Channel 4, was asked whether being a trans woman makes one any less of a ‘real woman?’ In the clip, which went viral shortly thereafter, Adichie responded by saying ‘When people talk about, “Are trans women women?” my feeling is trans women are trans women.’ Echoing the essentialist, predominantly white Global Northern, feminist politics of trans-exclusionary feminists (TERFs), by implying that trans women are not ‘real’ women because, as she assumes, they benefited from male privilege, Adichie set off a social media maelstrom. The publicised responses to her comments largely came from feminists and trans women in the Global North, and though many trans people from the African continent responded, with hashtags such as #ChimamandaKilledME, very few of these received any attention. As the hashtag suggests, for trans people living on the African continent, given the general lack of recourse to rights, Adichie’s words as an African writer carry considerable weight. Given this, the absence of media attention is curious. This article offers a recentring, by focusing on those voices, maligned in the broader debate – trans people from the African continent. I argue that while Adichie might be stumbling over the questions that lie at the heart of TERF politics (what does it mean to be a woman? and does it matter how a person arrives at being a woman?), trans women on the African continent have been busy reconstituting the terms of the terrain.

Abstract:
This article focuses on the first novel by Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Purple Hibiscus (2003). It examines how religious prejudice is encoded in the account of the book’s autodiegetic narrator, a fifteen-year-old girl whose father is a violent, extremist Igbo Catholic. Based on a close reading of the text, the essay argues that an analysis of the novel’s use of speech and thought presentation may contribute to the assessment of the main character’s evolving ideological stance. It is suggested that the resulting appraisal of the narrator’s development provides key insights into the interpretation of the book.

Abstract:
The Biafra War has been the subject of many historical accounts and literary texts. Among the novels produced about the Biafra War is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) where the author recounts not only the events leading to the war but also those during and just after the conflict. Though the events of the Biafra War constitute the central theme in Half of a Yellow Sun, Adichie also deals with the relationships among social classes in this novel. One may wonder why the author shows that some upper-class people are keen on their difference, their ‘superiority’, and, on the other hand, people of the upper and middle classes are human and respectful towards lower-class persons. What is the purpose of the writer in drawing this parallel? From a socialist and humanist perspective, this article deals with “bridging the gap among social classes in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun.” Based on sociology, psychology, socialism, and humanism, the paper will first deal with the criticism of the Nigerian upper class and then with Adichie’s advocacy for a socialist and humanist society.

Abstract:
The astounding development in Information Communication Technology (ICT) has transformed all fields of human endeavours and provided various media that writers employ in their literary texts. As rich as internet-mediated language and style are in the study of Adichie’s Americanah, there are paucity of scholarly studies that discussd their linguistic features and relevance. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the aspects of internet-mediated language and style used in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah. This study adopted Computer-mediated Communication (CMC) and this theory is dichotomised into synchronous and asynchronous modes. Synchronous modes comprise telephone conversations and instant messaging whereas asynchronous modes include e-mails, blogs and text messages. Methodologically, this study selected Adichie’s Americanah as a primary source using judgemental sampling. The documentary sources were obtained via journal articles, textbooks, dictionaries, dissertations and theses that boosted this study’s review. As for data presentation and analysis, the author read Americanah; selected Internet-mediated (IM) features; classified them into blogs, e-mails, text messages and telephone conversations and analysed them. One of the findings is that IM style saves time and enhances quick narration than letters. Secondly, the domestication of IM jargons in Americanah also indicates that the language of ICT is relevant in literature. Lastly, IMC is a recent style that Adichie employs in Americanah. This study will have tremendous impacts on English, Linguistics, Mass Communication, ICT and Literature students, researchers, scholars and lecturers.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines the making of a ‘new man’ character in Adichie’s Americanah and discusses how such a moulded man integrates himself in society and deals with other gendered worlds. The discussion shows how much Adichie in the representation of ‘new man’ character in her novel rejects the naturalisation of the unchangeability of the male subject by dramatizing how much the male’s enactment of masculine-self is contingent to the orientation one gets. In this paper, I establish that that Adichie’s representation of progressive ‘new man’ character in her novel does not only serve as a role model for ideal alternative masculinity, but also re-invents a space necessary for a progressive female character to belong in hetero-patriarchal setting of the novel. Although the categorisation of modes of masculinity in this paper begins with Connell’s binary of hegemonic and subordinate masculinities, the objective of the discussion is beyond such fixity. My interest in this paper is precisely on the sets of masculinity which, although they divert from the hegemony, the difference or the deficit of hegemonic masculinity does not suggest the inferiority. The paper borrows Swain’s (2006) “personalized masculinities” to refer to softer and transgressive modes of masculinities that are rebellious against the naturalisation of heteronormativity.

Abstract:
O presente artigo pretende evidenciar através do romance Americanah (2013), da nigeriana Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, de qual forma um elemento formador da identidade: o cabelo, é docilizado para que a adaptação da protagonista, uma mulher negra, africana e imigrante, possa ocorrer na sociedade americana. Para tanto, utilizamos as ideias de autores pós-coloniais acerca do que foi o colonialismo e como ele se atualiza sob o termo neocolonial. Também discutimos como o romance corrobora a crítica pós-colonial, aqui entendida como as teorias que denunciam os problemas causados pelo colonialismo nas sociedades das ex-colônias. Por fim, acreditamos que a literatura de Adichie funciona como um mecanismo de denúncia do neocolonial e como propulsor do debate acerca de preconceitos advindos da empreitada colonial.

Abstract:
The classical piece Half of a Yellow Sun, composed by Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie garners critical acclaim. Post-colonial perspectives such as diaspora, identity, and history have gained popularity among scholars; however, more comprehensive research is required. Grounded on post-colonial theory, this article attempts to present the dilemma of the “other” from the perspective of race and ethnicity and examines how the “other” resists and constructs their space for survival within the colonial discourse. Evidence suggests that Adichie, as the black and the Igbo, delineates the dilemma and resistance of the “other” to convey her firm racial, ethnic, and cultural confidence.

Abstract:
The study and analysis of texts from a linguistic and literary viewpoint is known as stylistics. This research looked at the fundamental language devices Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie employed in The Thing Around Your Neck to communicate with her audience and the larger society. A functional approach was used, in which special attention was paid to the stylistic function, impact, and thematic importance of language elements in literary texts. Morphology, graphology, phonology, syntax, lexico-semantics, and point of view were the stylistic devices used. After using these techniques on the novel, it became clear that language is an essential component of all works of art and that a work's success depends on the writer's skill in manipulating language. Through her systematic use of language, Adichie has made adjustments that have improved understanding of her work.

O presente artigo busca refletir sobre relações entre literatura e história, ao analisar aspectos sobre colonização e identidade no conto A historiadora obstinada, do livro No seu Pescoço, da escritora nigeriana Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Na leitura do conto, percebe-se a representação do choque cultural entre o colonizador e o colonizado, bem como a forma como a identidade cultural africana é alterada, até que haja uma contemporânea desmistificação da história oficial do colonizador pelo olhar da personagem Grace. O conto, publicado em 2017, aponta para a discussão sobre a necessidade de trabalhar outro olhar sobre a colonização de países africanos como a Nigéria, desta vez a partir da visão do colonizado. O estudo foi norteado pela relação entre literatura e história na perspectiva teórica de Linda Hutcheon, com o livro Poética do Pós-Modernismos, e de Roger Chartier, no livro A História Cultural Entre Práticas e Representações.

We find to understand how colonization and identity are built in the text. In short story’s lecture, we realize the cultural shock’s representation between colonizer and colonized, as well as how African cultural identity is changed. We observe in the text too a contemporary point of view on the character Grace, that demystifies colonizer official story. The short story was published in 2017, and your plot aims to discuss about other views of African countries as Nigeria, emphasizing colonized point of view. The study was guided by literature and history’s relationship proposed by Linda Hutcheon, with the book A Poetics of Posmodernism: History, Theory, Fiction, and by Roger Chartier, with the book Cultural History: between practices and representations. About cultural identity, we use Stuart Hall’s study, in the book The question of cultural identity. At least, we present the lecture of the book The colonizer and the colonized, by Albert Memmi, to think about colonized subject’s problem.Keywords: Chimamanda Adichie. Identity. Colonization.

We find to understand how colonization and identity are built in the text. In short story’s lecture, we realize the cultural shock’s representation between colonizer and colonized, as well as how African cultural identity is changed. We observe in the text too a contemporary point of view on the character Grace, that demystifies colonizer official story. The short story was published in 2017, and your plot aims to discuss about other views of African countries as Nigeria, emphasizing colonized point of view. The study was guided by literature and history’s relationship proposed by Linda Hutcheon, with the book A Poetics of Posmodernism: History, Theory, Fiction, and by Roger Chartier, with the book Cultural History: between practices and representations. About cultural identity, we use Stuart Hall’s study, in the book The question of cultural identity. At least, we present the lecture of the book The colonizer and the colonized, by Albert Memmi, to think about colonized subject’s problem.Keywords: Chimamanda Adichie. Identity. Colonization.

Abstract:
In the novel Adichie uncovers the characters’ struggles based on the loss of Identity and Human values which is basically the result of the Nigerian civil war. The characters strive to bring back what they lost due to the war. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was born much later after the Nigerian civil war of 1966-1969. Chimamanda Adichie had the interest to revive history of the war; she used her imaginative talent in bringing what she hadn’t experienced. The novel Half of a Yellow Sun is a literary work which uses the theory of post-colonialism or post-colonial studies, it is a term that is used to analyze and explain the legacy of colonialism through the study of a particular book. Colonialism did not happen during the colonial era only but extended to after independence of the countries that were colonized. The novel Half of a Yellow Sun shows the effect of colonialism after independence of Nigeria. Adichie believes that by bringing back the issue of the war, the growing generation would understand more about the war. According to her in Nigeria the history taught in the primary and secondary schools is not complete, some parts were removed and nobody is allowed to talk about it. So through the novel, she tries to go through history to see what has happened, so that she can make the young generation understand history better. The book opens with a poem by Chinua Achebe about the Nigerian civil war.

Analisamos essa possibilidade de reflexão sobre o papel da mulher negra enquanto escritora, verificando as operações estéticas a partir das quais elas articulam as intervenções da vida sobre a palavra escrita e vice-versa.

Abstract:
This article seeks to explore the discourse-semantics of two selected excerpts from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah with a focus on reference chains study. The choice to focus on studying reference chains in the selected excerpts aims at first appraising the way Adichie has used them to realize texture within her studied texts. It second aims at finding the extent to which references have contributed to the encoding of underlying meanings therein. To arrive at this, the research has appealed to the mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology. Through the quantitative methodology, the data obtained after analyses have been summarized organized and presented statistically in an informative way. The qualitative methodology ensued has allowed to give sense to the most interpretable data collected. Indeed, the research has interestingly arrived at impressive results. Among several others, the research has revealed that the studied texts are highly cohesive with endophoric references largely predominating over the other reference types. Using such cohesive ties as Adichie has done, has allowed her texts not only to stick together but also to be highly readable and flow logically. Moreover, the extensive use of endophoric references, as witnessed in the studied texts, is revelatory of their mode which is archetypal of a monologic written text. In other respects, the considerable number of exophoric references in the first excerpt reveals its tenor dimension. Such a linguistic feature indicates that it was produced in a context of immediate face-to-face feedbacks with language accompanying action. On the other hand, the fewer number of the same reference type in the second excerpt reveals its field and unveils that it is a written reflective text reconstructing an experience. Drawing upon the theoretically founded analysis of the selected excerpts and the interpretation of the collected data arrived at, the research opens up to such further investigation areas of the systemic functional linguistics as the interpersonal meaning, the experiential meaning, and the textual meaning.

Abstract:
<p>O presente trabalho objetiva uma análise dos elementos religiosos que norteiam e servem como mecanismos temporais no romance <em>Hibisco Roxo (2011)</em>, da nigeriana Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Publicado em 2003, o primeiro romance da autora aborda um núcleo familiar permeado pela violência doméstica que se utiliza do pretexto religioso como uma das maneiras de infligir agressões. O personagem Eugene tenta seguir com rigor os preceitos católicos e a cultura inglesa e, quando seus familiares não os executam com perfeição, provoca-lhe uma ira que o faz optar por violentá-los com agressões físicas. Em contrapartida, há o seu pai, Papa-Nnukwu, um ancião tradicionalista que não permite interferências em seus costumes igbos; e Tia Ifeoma, que consegue transitar pelas duas religiões – tradicional e católica – e extrair o que de melhor elas podem oferecer. Utilizaremos os estudos de Hall (2003), Bonnici (2009) e Said (2007) sobre o choque cultural de culturas diferentes e a imposição da metrópole sobre a colônia, visto que a Nigéria foi por muito tempo colônia inglesa. Sobre o elemento das aparições de Nossa Senhora na narrativa, utilizaremos as ideias de Boff (2006) sobre o papel de Maria como elemento nacional e suas aparições como fomentadora da religiosidade popular.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave:</strong> Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is a contemporary Nigerian writer. I choose her work Dear Ijeawele, Or, A Feminist Manifesto In Fifteen Suggestions, as it gives suggestion for parenting in a feminist manner. A series of personal letter accommodated in a book are refreshing take on parenting and can be studied as an initial guide to understand feminism as an ideology. My main focus with this paper is to focus on two different kinds of parenting suggested by her and by Lois Gould, from her short story The story of X, where she creates a narrative revolving around gender-neutral parenting, and how these two can be read together to give a refreshing take on parenting, which is radical in nature because it dissects the norms.

Abstract:
Home and motherhood are tightly interwoven, particularly in the dominant conceptualizations of home as a physical and emotional refuge from the public world. However, a closer look into these concepts helps question the naturalization of both motherhood and home, revealing them as shaped by complex lived experiences and relations instead. I argue that such a rethinking of home and motherhood beyond essentialist discourse is prominent in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s postcolonial novel Half of a Yellow Sun. Drawing on concepts and theories from the fields of gender studies and geography, and taking into account the postcolonial, Nigerian context of the novel, I address how Adichie’s 2006 piece of historical fiction thematizes the intersection point of motherhood and home as a relational practice. Adichie provides alternative conceptualizations of motherhood and home through her focus on performative, ritualized mothering practices that also function as relational home-making practices and that stretch beyond gender and biological relations. Through the central ambivalence that emerges in the novel when the female protagonist chooses and practices a traditional mother role but simultaneously does not correspond to the dominant Nigerian ideal of a mother, Adichie destabilizes binary views of both home and of motherhood.

Abstract:
The African continent today is laced with some of the most intractable conflicts, most of them based on ethnic nationalism. More often than not, this has led to poor governance, unequal distribution of resources, state collapse, high attrition of human resources, economic decline, and inter-ethnic clashes. This essay seeks to examine Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's through the lens of ethnic conflict. It begins by tracing the history and manifestations of ethnic stereotypes and ethnic cleavage in African imaginaries. The essay then argues that group loyalty in Nigeria led to the creation of 'biafranization' or 'fear of the Igbo factor' in the Hausa–Fulani and the various other ethnic groups that sympathized with them; a fear that crystallized into a thirty-month state-sponsored bulwark campaign aimed at finding a 'final solution' to a 'problem population'. Finally, the essay contends that Adichie's anatomizes the impact of ethnic cleavage on the civilian Igbo population during the Nigeria–Biafra civil war. Adichie, I argue, participates in an ongoing re-invention of how Africans can extinguish the psychology of fear that they are endangered species when they live side by side with people who do not belong to their 'tribe'.

No século XXI, produções literárias africanas têm se configurado comumente como fontes significativas para auxiliar a compreensão de causas e consequências de eventos históricos<strong>. </strong>Dentre elas, destaca-se o romance <em>Half of a Yellow Sun</em> (2006a)<em>, </em>de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Nessa obra, Adichie aborda problemáticas vividas por seus personagens durante o período da Guerra de Biafra, na Nigéria. Este artigo objetiva ilustrar alguns dos entrelaçamentos literários arquitetados por Adichie que suscitam questões de raça, feminismo e nacionalismo. Assim, as discussões levantadas aqui são amparadas nos Estudos Pós-coloniais a partir de pressupostos de Thomas Bonnici (2000), dentre outros. Como uma de suas conclusões, o artigo sublinha a importância do caráter interventivo da escrita pós-colonial, ao propiciar, por exemplo, reflexões acerca de eventos negativos do passado, para que não se reprisem.

Abstract:
Abstract Described as one of the leading voices of her generation, Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has become one of the many African authors who through their narratives have succeeded in challenging the literary canon both in Europe and North America while redefining African literature from the diaspora. Her specific use of the English language as well as transcultural writing strategies allow Adichie to skilfully represent what it means to live as a “translated being”. In her collection of short stories, The Thing Around Your Neck (2009), and her latest novel, Americanah (2013), which were greatly influenced by her own experiences as what she has referred to as “an inhabitant of the periphery”, Adichie depicts the way in which different Nigerian characters live in-between Nigeria and America. In this regard, her characters’ transatlantic journeys imply a constant movement between several languages and cultural backgrounds which result in cultural and linguistic translation.

Abstract:
With data from YouTube, this paper examines some masculinity issues raised by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her TEDx talk ‘We should all be feminists’ and some selected interviews. She problematizes the masculine ideal of suppressing emotions and acting tough and uses them to gauge how masculinity can be described as a ‘cage’. To exemplify how this ‘cage’ might look like in reality, I draw on evidence from the literature on masculinity and men’s health as well as data from an unpublished document on discourses of fear and anxiety among male COVID-19 survivors in Ghana. Using the concept of hegemonic masculinity, I argue that the plethora of evidence in the literature suggest that (hegemonic) masculine norms indeed constrain men in ways that may have dire consequences, not only for their ego, but also for their health; hence, Chimamanda’s call to change the existing discourse is in order. Focusing on the ‘cage’ metaphor (including its qualifiers), however, I question Chimamanda’s description of masculinity since it suggests as though there is no room for contestation – something which weakens her own call for changing the narrative. The paper therefore proposes going beyond the kind of cage Chimamanda equates masculinity with, to make way for the needed interventions.

Abstract:
The Nigerian Civil War has birthed much writing with the actors and victims reimagining the dark historical experience, highlighting the divergent role(s) in different literary genres. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun, one of the latest additions to the corpus of the war narratives, marks its distinctiveness by its fictive feminization, valorizing the marginal ‘other’. Available studies on the text focus on gender and trauma, with a passing mention of education. With the feminist theory as its thrust, this paper examines Adichie’s redefinition of the status of femininity vis-à-vis education. Through the actions of male/female genders and the rural illiterate/highly educated female gender captured in duality, Adichie, in the text, configures education as an undercurrent for the exploits of the educated female even as it (education) serves as the author’s strategy of subverting gender bias in society.
