Buchi EmechtaBy OluwadamilolaAfrican American fiction at its finest.Buchi Emechta narrates male female dynamics in from a Nigerian female perspective. "The Joys of Motherhood" a Nigerian fiction takes place in a time period in Nigeria during WWI. I find in it applicable to American male female dynamics in relationships. I would recommend this book to sociology, psychology majors to read to give a non academic perspective on your major or readers who love English literature.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
