This paper focuses on Chimamanda Adichie's novel Americanah (2014) and discusses the diasporic consciousness developed in the narrative, using cultural and gender studies as a theoretical foundation to problematise the impact of contemporary displacement on subjects. We focus on the characters Ifemelu and Obinze, the protagonists of the movements described in the novel. Our attention is centred on the movement of Ifemelu, the novel's protagonist, whose construction of diasporic consciousness is based on the exercise of writing a blog that she creates and maintains while living in the USA to discuss issues of race and gender. Her writing and discoveries continue until she returns to her country of origin - Nigeria - and upon her return, she creates a new blog and reflects on her sense of foreignness in her own culture.
