Second Class Citizen

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
