Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’den, çağımızda hem çok tartışılıp hem de sıkça görmezden gelinen ırk meselesi üzerine cesur bir roman. Üniversite eğitimi için Amerika’ya giden genç bir Nijeryalı kadının arkadaşlık ve aşk ilişkileri, toplumdaki kadın erkek rolleri ve kültür çatışması üzerine ince gözlemleriyle bezeli Amerikana, sosyal sınıf ve ten rengine dayalı kabileciliğin günümüzdeki varlığını irdeliyor. Afrikalı kimliğinin Afrika, Avrupa ve Amerika’daki farklı algılarını sorgularken ırk ve ırkçılık üzerine aslında son derece basit ama tam da basit olduğu için örtbas edilebilen meseleleri gözler önüne seriyor. Biri Amerika’ya biri Avrupa’ya giden iki çocukluk aşkı, Ifemelu ve Obinze’nin hikâyesi üzerinden Batılılaşmanın bir yanıyla Batı’ya “maruz kalmak” da demek olduğunu, sözünü sakınmadan anlatıyor Amerikana.
Nijerya’nın önde gelen genç seslerinden Adichie, National Book Critics Circle Ödülü’ne layık görülen ve başta The New York Times olmak üzere birçok mecmuanın yılın en iyi kitapları listesinde yer alan romanıyla çağdaş dünya edebiyatının önemli isimleri arasına girmeyi başardı. Özünde yıllara yayılmış bir aşk hikâyesi olan Amerikana, ufuk açıcı bir kitap.
