Abstract

This study aims to analyze Buchi Emecheta's The New Tribe through exploring themes of diaspora and displacement and sheding the light on the characters' esperiences both within and outside their county of origin by having a harmony of two different cultures; one that is conventioanl and another that is comtemporary.
