“…In sum, returning means attempting to rebuilt disrupted social networks while migrants are confronted with negative emotions such as shame and stigmatization after the failure of their migratory journey (Feldner, 2019). Future research could focus on comparing the migrants' experience with that of a community member from their home country who never migrated.…”

Our explorative work aimed to qualitatively analyze the factors affecting human security and psychological well-being in a group of migrants temporarily hosted in a Nigerian transit center. The study involved 250 migrants from different Western and sub-Saharan African countries who were interviewed during their stay in International Organization for Migration – supported transit centers. Thematic content analysis was performed on the texts of the interviews. Motivations for departure from the home country, resources available for migrants’ sense of security, expectations for their future, experience in the host country, and the relationship between human insecurity and life satisfaction were the main emerging themes.

“…Ngozi Adichie's literary works that realistically depict the tension for having the same position without paying attention to gender, race, and social status. Feldner notes "such conflicts should thus be examined not only for the effects they transfer but for the experiences they permit the readers to engage" (Feldner, 2019).…”

Resumo. Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar o romance Americanah, de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, baseado na teoria Irigarayiana e na rejeição da diferença de gênero. Todo o romance trata da voz das mulheres que não podem ser ouvidas. As sua s vozes são, na sua maioria, silenciadas pela sociedade em que vivem devido às suas etnias e estatuto social. Ifemelu é a personagem principal do romance cuja identidade está diretamente sob a influência da cultura e da etnia em diferentes contextos. A análise irigarayiana é utilizada para mostrar a prevalência do sexo masculino e da noção de maternidade, acreditando que a identidade feminina é caracterizada pelo papel que as mães desempenham ao longo do discurso histórico, que enfatizam que o feminino tem sido associado à natureza e à negligência em contraste com o masculino que está associado ao discurso, à cultura e à subjetividade. As alegações de Irigaray sobre a identidade feminina foram rejeitadas. As personagens femininas da narrativa, assim como os homens, estão mais ligadas à cultura e ao discurso do que ao abandono e à natureza. Cada uma dessas personagens femininas desempenha uma importante função cultural na refutação da noção Irigarayiana. Paper argumenta que a existência de diferenças sexuais entre personagens masculinos e femininos reproduz discursos de gênero em desvantagem das mulheres, por meio dos quais o status quo é mantido e os interesses de grupos poderosos são atendidos.
