Эмечета, Бучи цитаты

Флоренс Онебучи «Бучи» Эмечета — писательница и драматург нигерийского происхождения, написала автобиографию, сочиняла для детей. Она была автором более 20 книг, в том числе Second Class Citizen , The Bride Price , «Рабыня» и The Joys of Motherhood . Большинство её ранних романов публиковались в издательстве Allison & Busby, где её редактором была Маргарет Басби.

Эмечета популяризировала темы детского рабства, материнства, женской независимости и свободы, снискала признание критиков и почести. Однажды она назвала свои истории «историями мира, где женщины сталкиваются с универсальными проблемами бедности и угнетения, и чем дольше эти проблемы существуют, тем глобальнее они становятся». В работах Эмечета исследует противоречие между традициями и современностью. Ёе характеризуют как «первую успешную чернокожую женщину-романиста, жившую в Великобритании после 1948 года». Wikipedia
