Abstract

The study discusses space as reflective of cultural conflict and the interrelation between gender, race, place, space, and power in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s collection of short stories, The Thing Around Your Neck. The focus is on three stories that depict women residing in different spaces: domestic, hybrid, border, and marginal. Space, and the role it plays in Adichie’s stories, is analyzed as a social product based on the theories of Henri Lefebvre in The Production of Space and of Michel Foucault in “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias.” Cross reference will also be made to similar stories from Arabic literature.
