On Second Class Citizen
Emecheta, Buchi. Second Class Citizen. New York: George Braziller, 1983. pp. 174. Paperback.
Brief and good account of Nigerian immigration to the UK in the 1960s from a woman’s perspective. Offers a glimpse of the multifaceted black immigrant women faced upon arriving in the UK, whether they be from pre-existing structures replicated from West Africa (in this case, largely gender dynamics) or discrimination experienced as a result of British racism.
