Achebe Discusses Africa 50 Years After 'Things Fall Apart' chinua achebe s things fall apart
This juxtaposition is further staged to question the stereotypical representation of Africa and Africans through the fictional texts of 19 th c British writers such as Joseph Conrad, Faol Haggard among many others. Though it is not a purely historical text, Things Fall Apart is spearheaded against the reductive approach applied by 19 th c British writers to deny Africa history and culture wholesale, presenting it on a dire need for the enlightenment and mission civilisatrice of the Westerners.
Chiefly, Achebe states that the cultural practices of the African people in their particular African environment down through ages have catered them with particular insights into life that are the bedrock of values and outlooks shaping contemporary African life.
