Résumé | Abstract

This study analyses the issue of the connection between virtual migration and globalization in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s literary works, namely The Thing Around Your Neck (2009) and Americanah (2013). Focused on postocolonial theoretical approach, precisely on Bill Ashcroft and his peers’ conception on globalism, it demonstrates that virtual migration leads African people to globalization. In this vein, that current phenomenon is used as a gun by the excolonised to break-down the barriers between their peripheral position and the coloniser’s central position.
