One of the major challenges of postcolonial African literature has been its transnational shift in the age of globalization. Globalization with its attendant increase in migrations continues to witness an influx of human beings from diverse parts of the world into Europe and America. Predictably, the largest numbers are often from the less developed countries of the world. The outcome of these movements has been transformations and integrations in different ways. It is on this premise that Chika Unigwe's On Black Sisters' Street and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americanah are two literary texts to discussthe multifaceted and intertwined combination of experiences that afflict and characterize transnational trajectory and the complex dynamics of diaspora existence. The paper argues that Africans are challenged by the instability arising from the quest for survival in the new world as a result of imperialism. Hitherto, the Nigerian immigrants are depicted as grappling with difficulties and identity crisis. The paper concludes that Unigwe's and Adichie's transnational engagement underscores the perception of the West as an El Dorado of sorts.
