一个神秘迷人的黑佬是怎样的,你问?那个黑人要时时睿智宽大。他在承受莫大的苦难时绝不反击,绝不动怒,绝不恐吓威胁。他对各种种族主义的恶行永远采取原谅的态度。他教导白人如何破除心中可悲但可以理解的偏见。你在许多电影里见过这样的人。而奥巴马正是那千篇一律的翻版。 ...

One of The New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year
LONGLISTED 2015 – International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award
From the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun, a dazzling new novel: a story of love and race centered around a young man and woman from Nigeria who face difficult choices and challenges in the countries they come to call home.
As teenagers in a Lagos secondary school, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are leaving the country if they can. Ifemelu—beautiful, self-assured—departs for America to study. She suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships and friendships, all the while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home: race. Obinze—the quiet, thoughtful son of a professor—had hoped to join her, but post-9/11 America will not let him in, and he plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London.
Years later, Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a writer of an eye-opening blog about race in America. But when Ifemelu returns to Nigeria, and she and Obinze reignite their shared passion—for their homeland and for each other—they will face the toughest decisions of their lives.
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today’s globalized world: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s most powerful and astonishing novel yet.
中途多次想放弃,有点读不下去了。勉强看完了,结尾极度潦草。总之觉得矫情、做作、虚假得很,那些对话,那些情节。
评分!!!!!The best reading for the postcolonialism course. So well-written.
评分喜欢它是个爱情故事,喜欢里面关于人物精炼到位的描写,就连最“stereotypical”的关于race的observation都很有说服力。一直在哭,真的care for这些角色。作为身在美国的第三世界国家中产阶级,很多地方很有共鸣。
评分!!!!!The best reading for the postcolonialism course. So well-written.
