The novel, Americanah, opens in the Ivy league enclave of Princeton, NJ. Ifemelu likes living there because she could pretend to be someone else,someone adorned with certainty (3). But she has to go to the largely black town of Trenton, nearby, to have her hair braided. Does this movement between cities indicate a similar split within Ifemelu? Why has she decided to return to Nigeria after 13 years in America?
**Ground rule**
I do not want summaries of the assigned material, and any such submissions will not be counted toward the final grade, and will receive 0 points!
What I am interested in is what you think about the material. This is your opportunity to voice your opinion, impressions, ask questions, etc.
There are no right or wrong answers for responses, and the length is up to each individual; however, it is therefore necessary that students engage in some reflection before writing their response.
