Usimov [2.4K]1 year ago
5 0

Answer:

Second Class Citizen is a novel by Buchi Emecheta. It was published in the United Kingdom in 1974, and in the United States in 1975. This novel tells the story of Adah Ofili-Obi, an Ibo Nigerian woman with ambitions to attend school, emigrate to the U.K., and become a writer. Achieving her dreams turns out to be more complicated than she expects, as Adah must contend with virulent racism in the U.K. and an abusive husband, but she perseveres. The novel explores themes such as immigration, sexism, and racism.

Second Class Citizen is well regarded as a story of overcoming struggle and of contemporary African life. On the novel's publication in 1974, Hermione Harris wrote in Race & Class: "Of the scores of books about race and black communities in Britain that had appeared during the 1960s and early 1970s, the great majority are written by white academic ultimately concerned with the relationship between white society and black 'immigrants'. Few accounts have emerged from those on the receiving end of British racism or liberalism of their own black experience. On the specific situation of black women there is almost nothing. Second Class Citizen is therefore something of a revelation."

John Self in The Guardian wrote that, despite being on Granta's Best of Young British Novelists list in 1983, in subsequent years Emecheta "...didn't get the column inches. So it's a late justice that she is one of the few Granta alumni, alongside Martin Amis and Shiva Naipaul, to be promoted to the Penguin Modern Classics list."

Can you annotate this? Write two things you under about about identity.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Identity is synonymous with self-image. A person's identity is formed throughout life because it consists of many different characteristics. Both those we choose and those we can not influence. According to a constructivist view of identity, identity is created continuously in interaction with its surroundings. An extreme constructivist view that sees everything as socially constructed and does not allow for individual choices and expressions, is usually called deterministic.

This individual identity can be transferred to larger groups, becoming a social identity that encompasses a group of individuals with common historical, cultural and traditional characteristics.
