The intersectionality between race, sex, and gender is pervasive throughout Americanah. Ifemelu’s focus shifts between sex and gender and race through her experience and is greatly affected by her location. Why is it that Ifemelu focuses heavily on sex and gender during her time in Nigeria and on race during her time in America?
