Description
Achebe's powerful exploration of the role of stories in shaping our understanding of the world. In this thought-provoking book, Chinua Achebe examines the personal and the political, weaving together his own experiences with a broader critique of imperialism. Achebe argues that literature is a source of power, and that imitating another culture's literature can be a form of dispossession. This book is a compelling argument for the importance of stories in our lives.
