Writing and the Diaspora: a reading by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

By Amara Diabaté

This study addresses the issue of diasporic writing among writers who are referred to by critics as "new authors", specifically the Nigerian-born writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She shows that Adichie, through a writing of hybrid and subversive character, moves away from the literary codes already established in the literary field. To achieve this, the author uses discursive strategies that question symbolism, implicit and dispossession. These different modalities occupy a significant place in the composition of the works studied, leading to a sense of the subversive character of the narrative that is the result of a scriptural practice that is flourishing in the literary field of diasporic productions. In addition, the reader will discover in this study, the debate that is currently taking place in human societies on the migratory fact. To tell the truth, the writer presents an Africa on its knees and challenges Africans to become aware of this phenomenon whether it is regular or irregular.
