“Io sono nigeriano perché il bianco
si è inventato la Nigeria
e mi ha affibbiato quell’identità.Sono nero perché il bianco
ha fatto in modo che il nero fosse
il più lontano possibile dal bianco.”— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, scrittrice

🧵 2/2
...immigration policy should also be made in the light of legal obligations and political principle.
The UK is bound by various laws and treaties that cannot be brushed aside when proposing more restrictions on immigration, nor can obligations arising from the colonial past simply be disregarded.
On a more general level, migration policy in the UK and anywhere else raises important questions in political and moral philosophy; I am not going to attempt to list these questions, let alone address them, here. To investigate these arguments in more detail, one could start with the writings of Chris Bertram, @crookedfootball / @crookedfootball.bsky.social
Instead, I will merely suggest how we might start to think about migration. Besides all the political, economic, legal, and historical considerations already mentioned, a larger principle applies: people should be free to move as part of their freedom to shape their own lives, and those wanting to limit this freedom must bear the burden of justifying any restrictions.
A book that makes clear the importance of this assumption is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's 2013 novel "Americanah". Besides helping you swim against the nativist tide in the UK and beyond , it's a good read too!

- I had dinner with a friend from graduate school whom I had not seen for a number of years. She asked what I was reading, so I showed her my copy of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "Americanah". It turns out she is reading it at the moment too! We're both enjoying it a lot.
- I was in a hurry so I stopped at Taco Cabana for lunch and ordered the steak taco combo. I was pleasantly surprised by both the tacos and the inclusion of chips and queso.
- I bought some Clawhammer peppermints partly because I wanted some mints and partly because I liked the design on the tin. I was pleased to see after my purchase that they are made in Canada. If you are in the USA, don't buy them from Amazon, because they are horribly overpriced there.

Een lovende recensie in @nrc over de nieuwe roman van #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie: Dream Count.
De kop bij het artikel staart me al dagen aan vanaf de tafel in de kamer: ‘Vier vrouwen die hun mond open doen.’
Nog steeds bijzonder, dat vrouwen hun mond open doen. Zeggen wat ze écht te zeggen hebben.
Dat weet ik wel, want ik spreek genoeg vrouwen voor wie dat niet in iedere situatie vanzelfsprekend is; precies zeggen wat je te zeggen hebt.
Maar ik vind het ook balen.

The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are. Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn’t have the weight of gender expectations.
I have chosen to no longer be apologetic for my femaleness and my femininity. And I want to be respected in all of my femaleness because I deserve to be.#InternationalWomensDay #chimamandangoziadichie #happywomensday #love #girlpower #feminism #books #quotes

I came to this interview with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie having only read one of her books (Americanah), but I think my reaction to that novel informed my reading of the interview, and the controversy over her thoughts on trans women, in an interesting way - https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/feb/15/cancel-culture-we-should-stop-it-end-of-story-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-on-backlash-writers-block-and-her-two-new-babies
Although a good book in many ways, for me Americanah had one glaring weakness: Adiche can't write men. When the couple at the centre of Americanah are separated, her in the US and he in the UK, her experience is richly imagined and written - his is thin and unconvincing. Contrast this with, say, Sally Rooney, who seems to be able to imagine her way into the minds of both men and women with equal facility.
So in a way Adiche's assumption that you can't really be a woman if you've been socialised as a man came as no surprise: it predicates a conclusion about being 'fully' female on the assumption that male-female categories are fundamental. It misses, at the simplest level, the fact that trans women are not treated as men in the same way that men are treated as men, because they are in fact women (inside) being treated as men. At a deeper level, it misses the real complexity of human experience, mistaking a conceptualisation for reality - precisely what other ways of seeing do, but which art shouldn't. At the level of real experience (the novel's true subject) nobody is ever socialised in the same way, because socialisation is always already different in different societies, families, times, etc...
So there is I think an interesting connection between the rigidity of Adiche's thinking on this and a key limitation of her writing.
(Before anyone asks, I haven't read Akwaeke Emezi, so can't comment...)

@bookstodon I mostly read on my Kindle, but I found this magical print book in a bookstore in #Ouray, Colorado last summer, and have enjoyed reading it at the beach, on planes, etc. while vacationing in Hawai’i. “Americanah” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Excellent #ReithLecture on #FreedomOfSpeech by #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie. Great that people like #Chimamanda are retrieving this issue from 'free-speech warriors' on the Right but also a lesson for those on the Left tempted into #tribal self-censorship.

"Dovremmo essere tutti femministi" di Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, pp. VI - 50, Einaudi, ed.2015.Il libro è l'attamento di una celeberrima conferenza di #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie.
Si legge in un'oretta ma offre tanti spunti di riflessione.Noi uomini dovremmo leggere di più su questo tema, quindi altri consigli di lettura sono ben accetti.
