DESCRIPTION
Chinua Achebe: Moulded and Shaped the Literary Identity of Africa penetrates deeply into the fictions of Chinua Achebe which has influenced the readers all over the world. It is an attempt to show how Achebe’s fictions have produced a powerful understanding of African colonial, precolonial and postcolonial history and realities. This book throws light on the disruption caused in lgbo society with the coming of the white man as reflected by Chinua Achebe. His novels exhibit the rich lgbo culture which was wiped out by the western culture brought by the Europeans leading to the loss of ‘Identity’ of the Africans. This book aims to show Achebe’s Quest to achieve the lost Identity of the Africans and glorify Africa’s historical past.
