About This Novel
The only reason you say race is not a barrier is because you wish it wasn't. We all hope that's not the case. But this is a lie. Ifemelu decides to move back to Nigeria even though she already has everything in the United States: a popular racial blog, a position as a researcher at Princeton University, and her boyfriend, a black professor who shares her views, is a decision that cannot be explained clearly. Immigration is the dream of all Nigerian young people, but when she came here she discovered that in addition to bills, identity, and language, skin color was the turbulent undercurrent hidden under everything. However, after returning to her hometown as a "Yankee", can she adapt to life in Nigeria again?
