AFRO-INDIAN CROSS-CULTURAL IDENTITY IN HALF OF A YELLOW SUN

Abstract

Cross-cultural associations provide important insights which become the basis of common cultural ties and universal peace. The narrative of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun presents cross-cultural commonalities with Indian cultural ethos. The narrative reveals several cultural parallels between Indian and African traditions, culture and history. This research paper attempts to study the cross-cultural ties between Indian and African cultural heritage as revealed in the narrative of The Half of a Yellow Sun.
