The author of the novel has deliberately shown two circumstances for Ifemelu and Obinze as immigrants because she wanted to highlight the immigrant experiences through her novel Americanah. Critics have also called this an intersectional feminist love story that has turned many head but the main purpose for creating differences between their experiences was their gender. It is essential to understand how people are treated on the basis of their gender. The most apparent difference lies in the effect of a Black woman living as immigrant in United States and a black man living as an illegal immigrant in London.
