Summary: First-Class Account
Comment: 'Second-Class Citizen' is an excellent portrayal of one woman's journey from Africa to London. The problems that she faces both in Africa and in Britain are intense and Emecheta makes the reader really feel what's going on. This is an important book for anyone to read and it goes a long way towards me (as a white, British male) understanding how racism and sexism affects others. I defy anyone to read this book and not be affected by it and the fact that it is at least partly autobiographical makes it's contents even more harrowing. 'Second-Class Citizen' ranks alongside Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart' in that it takes the situation of colonial rule in Africa and takes it one stage further. An excellent and important read.
