A Womanist Approach to Selected Works by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Sefi Atta

Yasmin Mohamed Mahmoud Shabana;

Abstract


This thesis attempts a Womanist analysis of two contemporary Nigerian novels, Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Everything Good Will Come by Sefi Atta. Womanism is a term coined by Alice Walker in 1983, and it aims at bridging the gaps of Feminism. It refutes the allegations that consider Feminism the only platform that empowers women. It also provides a room for black women and women of color, who were marginalized in the Feminist discourse, to express their struggles and moments of triumph. Hence, it intersects with Post-Colonialism in their attempt to eliminate different forms of racism.
