Abstract

As people of the diaspora, most Black British writers have long been troubledand fascinated by the ideas of ‘home’ and ‘identity.’ A lot of their works present asense of not belonging anywhere and a quest for a new kind of identity not limitedto national boundaries. Such issues are portrayed most clearly in Buchi Emecheta’snovel, Kehinde, where the protagonist’s conception of ‘home’ and ‘identity’ is disruptedbetween Nigerian and British and how she ends up creating a new and morefluid identity for herself.
