Abstract

This paper aims to show the objectivity of Nigerian writers by portraying the ups and downs of their society. Indeed, in Sefi Atta’s a Bit of Difference and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus, the authors have done a diagnosis without complaisance of the bottlenecks that impede Nigeria from moving forwards.   It also demonstrates that feminist activism can challenge a political military power. It finally displays that violence at universities; social injustice, corruption and mediocrity are the evils that characterized the Nigerian society.

Abstract

This article brings to light political disillusionment in Zimbabwe under the presidency of Robert Mugabe.  In We Need New Names (2013) NoViolet Bulawayo has explored how political disillusionment has triggered off the search for utopia in relation to migration.  This paper portrays Darling, a victim of Mugabe’s Operation Murambatsiva, has journeyed to America so as to find other opportunities.  It also shows that in fleeing poverty in Zimbabwe to search for a better life in America, disillusionment is unavoidable because utopia is associated with disillusionment.
