Author: Buchi Emecheta
ISBN: 0807610666

In the late 1960 s, Adah, a spirited and resourceful woman manages to move her family to London. Seeking an independent life for herself and her children she encounters racism and hard truths about being a new citizen. Second Class Citizen pales a lot of academic feminist writing into insignificance. The Guardian Emecheta s prose has a shimmer of originality, of English being reinvented....Issues of survival lie inherent in her material and give her tales weight. --John Updike"
