Trauma and Dispossession in Postcolonial African Narratives: Migrant Identity in Isidore Okpewho's "Call Me By My Rightful Name" and Buchi Emecheta's "Kehinde"
Call Me By My Rightful Name and Buchi Emecheta's Kehinde. It examines the authors' use of narrative strategies to highlight identity crises, cultural hybridity, and the psychological consequences of displacement. Employing postcolonial theory, the article argues that transcontinental migration creates news burdens for postcolonial subjects rather than alleviating their struggles.
