The article presents a literary criticism of the African novels "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and "We Need New Names" by NoViolet Bulawayo. She discusses the African women characters in the novels, the view of U.S. black racial identity as monolithic, and the issue of nationalism as a force for unity.
