| dc.description.abstract | This research study is a comparative analysis of the novels The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears by DenawMengestu (2007) and ChimamandaNgoziAdichie’sAmericanah (2013). The objective of this research is to delve into the various challenges experienced by the protagonist. Moreover, the study aims to examine the cultural clash that shapes the experiences and difficulties faced by the protagonists SephaStephanos and Ifemelu. To achieve our goal, we have incorporated HomiK.Bhabha concepts of ‘Mimicry’ and ‘Hybridity’. Initially, we focus on the common complexities that SephaStephanos encounters as an African Immigrant, as well as the challenges faced by Ifemelu in America, and upon her return to Nigeria. Also we delve into the evolution of identity of the protagonists with particular emphasis on their cross-cultural interactions, self-discovery and their personal growth. Consequently, our comprehensive analysis of the chosen novels leads us to a discerning conclusion. Mengestu and Adichie share common perspectives towards racism and cultural clash. | |
