Almost reached lofty goal

"Americanah" is the story of Nigerian Ifemelu who flees her paralyzed by corruption and strikes home country with the help of a scholarship to the United States, there sums up with great difficulty walking, eventually comes as blogger to prestige and prosperity and returns fifteen years later in their home ,

"Americanah" is the story of a young girl who leaves her lover and soul mate of her life, can tear off contact with him, without being able to internally separate from him and drags him as spiritual ballast by their later relationships.

"Americanah" is a snappy, sometimes downright contemptuous criticism of the Nigerian society, which is the author not so much comes to that in the country nothing works because the rulers do business solely in their own pocket, but rather the strange , by almost servile devotion embossed for everything British relation to the former colonial power and the ambivalent view of America, the real land of dreams that you want to despise a little simultaneously for its "lack of culture" but.

"Americanah" is a study of the role of women in such diverse societies such as those of Nigeria and the United States, through various forms of dependency, and the taming unruly hair, a fight that you can only win actually by one abandons him - so then also plays the framework for action during many hours sitting in an African hair salon in New Jersey.

But above all things, and that is the real purpose of this book is "Americanah" an intelligent analysis of American society, from the perspective of a non-American Blacks, which shows in many ways that slavery and racial segregation, although belonging to the past, their effects in the form of latent to overt racism on the one hand, more than compensating political correctness or other blunders on the other side but not for long.

And here Chimamanda Adichie has then made so much that the novel device slightly out of joint. So you can accommodate everything she has to say on the subject, and that is no doubt a lot, the novel in parts sometimes more caricatures developed into a fairly constructed published series of situations in which a barely manageable number of people (as people) only appears for a brief moment on the scene to give the cue for the next, admittedly brilliant insight into the relationships between the ethnic groups, mostly still compacted in quoting passages from Ifemelus blog. So revealing is all these things, it seems just a little synthetic and ultimately that the life and love story of this already because of her somewhat abrasive and not always comprehensible way exciting, though not always sympathetic personality not so elegantly developed the consequence, as you would wish her. That's why there's not a perfect score.
