This book makes a significant addition to the field of literary
criticism on African Diaspora literatures. In one volume, it brings
together the novels of eight transnational African Diaspora women
writers, Yaa Gyasi, Chika Unigwe, Chimamanda Adichie, Imbole Mbue,
NoViolet Bulawayo, Aminatta Forna, Taiye Selasi, and Leila
Aboulela, and positions them as chroniclers of African immigrant
experiences. The book inspires critical readings of these writers'
works by revealing emerging trends in women's literature as they
are being determined and redefined by immigration. As transnational
subjects, the writers engage various meanings of mobility and
exhibit innovative aesthetic styles; they create awareness on
gender identities and transformations, constructions of home and
belonging, as well as the politics of citizenship in the hostland.
The book also highlights the importance of reverse migrations and
performance returns to the homeland as an expression of human
desire for home and belonging, and taken as a whole, it enhances
our understanding of how migration and transnational existence are
(re)shaping immigrant subjects. This book will be of interest to
scholars, students, and researchers of African Diaspora literatures
and gender studies, who will find this book beneficial for
investigating critical trends, approaches to transnational
literature, and for comprehending the diasporic burdens that
transnational immigrants bear.
