Popis

In Good For Nothing Girl, Gift, an eighteen-year-old Nigerian, gives an account of how her quest for a better education in the United States results in a controversial case of domestic servitude. Born and raised in a small city in Nigeria where parents customarily name their children after virtues, Gift begins her story as a book-smart and confident high schooler in 2017. She is about to graduate, but has no faith in the education she will receive at the local state polytechnic she has applied to. Seizing an opportunity to attend college in the United States while working as a nanny, she becomes the object of envy in her community, which makes her more determined to leave Nigeria. Gift travels to a provincial city in Mississippi, where her confidence is diminished by her employer''s manipulation and condescension. She faces isolation in her role as a nanny until she manages to escape, not without her case becoming an international cause celebre against her wishes. Her anonymity protected by law and her goal to attend college deferred, Gift regains her confidence and turns down a lucrative but exploitative offer to publish her story, preferring to tell it her own way. Good For Nothing Girl is more a testament to the global market''s impact on the individual''s perception of self-worth than it is a story about modern-day slavery.
