Abstract

The issue of identity alongside social integration is a matter for concern; hence, there is a need to view it through the lenses of “Zikora”. This study interrogates Adichie's ability to demonstrate how immigrants navigate their way through new environments to attain cultural stability, transcultural citizenship, and new identity in the novel “Zikora” written by Chimamadna Ngozi Adichie. The chapter as a qualitative research is descriptive and the data for the study is selected from portions of “Zikora”. The theoretical frameworks of Harris and Michalik and Michalska-Suchanek underpin the study and findings clearly emphasize that language is made to communicate the thoughts and identity of people to readers. This study concludes that the cultural complexities of new environments compel people to embrace and adapt to new culture and reality.
