Description

This milestone in African literature was written by Chinua Achebe and published in 1958. It gives a truthful look at tribal life in Nigeria before and after the coming of colonialism. It tells about the violence, suffering, and war that existed but also shares a sense of tradition, ritual, and social unity. The main story is about a village leader named Okonkwo who is controlled by fear of failure and weaknesses. Colonialism comes to Umuofia and forever changes the culture Okonkwo has grown up with. It's a rather depressing but accurate look at what the transition from tribal life to colonialism was like. A glossary of Ibo words and phrases is included. 214 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
