Overview

This book discusses the foundational factors for which the African postcolonial subject indulges in transnational displacement, verifying whether the purpose for their dislocation is often achieved. The conditions of the displaced postcolonial subjects in their transnational space and their responses to the new realities are zoomed in. One of the major issues handled in the novels of Isidore Okpewho's Call Me By My Rightful Name and The Victims and Buchi Emecheta's Kehinde and Second-Class Citizen is the question of gender consciousness and emancipation. They bring to the lamb light some of the difficulties female migrants encounter out of their homeland. Here, the difference between the sexes is socially and historically constructed with regard to disparity in workplace, as well as at the intellectual and symbolic spheres. Evidence of such an imbalance is imbedded in the gender discrimination persistently fought against by feminist movements, designed to challenge male supremacy.
