ما بعد صدمة الحرب الأهلية النيجيرية في رواية شيماماندا أديتشي "نصف الشمس الصفراء"

الملخص EN

This paper examines the traumatic impact of the civil Nigeria's war.

It explores how the concept of trauma has shaped the narrative structure of Adiche's novel Half of A Yellow Sun (2006).

Written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichieshe is a third-generation Nigerian writer born in 1977 in Nsukka.

Half of A Yellow Sun is a narrative work that somehow captures the reality of the trauma both at the psychological and physical levels in the lives of the Igbo ethnic nation during the Nigerian civil war.

The violence inflicted upon the Igbo people in Nigeria in the 1967-1970 war.

This postcolonial text convincingly rethinks the narrative of trauma beyond the event-based paradigm.

Out of responsibility, its pressing demands for justice against the enduring effects of colonialism typify postcolonial trauma theory's attempt at probing into the everyday suffering of African subjects.

This research aims to explain the whole image of the history of Nigeria, and also explores how the concept of trauma has shaped the narrative structure of Adiche's novel.

Moreover, it attempts an explanation of the historical truths of the brutalities that effect the post-trauma of war on the Igbo ethnic nation in Nigeria, and how the victims of the civil war managed to negotiate their existence.

It's this traumatic encounter with history that constitutes the Igbo suffering in Nigeria.
