From Bildungsroman to Bildungsromance
The bildungsroman has dominated the Nigerian literary landscape since the 1990s with novels such as Chimamanda N. Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus (2004), Unoma Azuah’s Sky-High Flames (2005), Chika Unigwe’s Night Dancer (2012), and Chinelo Okparanta’s Under the Udala Trees (2015).

This article explores Unigwe’s novel Night Dancer (2012) as a distinctive third-generation novel advocating self-emancipation through the appropriation and reversal of patriarchal nationalist discourses which objectify…
