| Abstrakt: | A literary criticism of the book "Becoming Abigail" by Chris Abani is presented. It outlines how the novella uses the narrative of a Nigerian girl, Abigail, who is trafficked to London under the false pretense of attending school, only to endure horrific abuse. It explores the themes of body violation, abjection, and the "salvationist gaze" imposed on Black and African migrant girls in the global North. |
