    Extractions: N ovelista y poeta nigeriano; en su primera novela, Todo se desmorona (1958), escribe con amargura sobre cómo la literatura europea se apropia del mundo africano y cómo las influencias occidentales están cambiando la sociedad africana. Otras obras de Achebe son Flecha de Dios (1964) y Un hombre del pueblo (1966). Sin concesiones al sentimentalismo, con bastante ironía, transmite, en una prosa colorista, las costumbres y el habla local del pueblo Ibo. Entre las ultimas obras de Achebe destaca la colección de cuentos Chicas en guerra (1971), y Navidades en Biafra y otros poemas (1973). Desde 1971 colabora con Okike, una de las revistas literarias más influyentes de África. Hormigueros de la sabana (1987) es una novela que trata sobre el fracaso de los intelectuales y políticos africanos. © eMe Textos:

    Extractions: What is Things Fall Apart? Chinua Achebe's narrative novel, Things Fall Apart, was first published in 1958. The setting is eastern Nigeria in the late 1800s and early 1900s, just prior to and during the British expansion into Umuofia. The theme is that of the struggle and transformation of the traditional Igbo society while under British colonialism. This theme is conveyed by illustrating major events in the life of Okonkwo, a respected tribal leader. Okonkwo lives a successful life by Igbo standards and is well-respected by his tribesmen, until he accidentally takes the life of one of his clansmen and is banished from the village. After seven years, Okonkwo returns to his village to find it is now subject to colonial laws. Additionally, he finds that his tribe's religious beliefs are rapidly being replaced by Christianity. Okonkwo is opposed to these new practices and struggles to put a stop to the destruction of his Igbo culture. Okonkwo attempts to rally his tribesmen, but finds little support. The tribe is divided, and only a few people continue to defend the Igbo ways. Some have already freely embraced Christianity, while yet others have simply given in to the "white man's" new ways. In a moment of anger and frustration, Okonkwo kills a messenger from the British District Officer. This final attempt to defend his Igbo world and impress upon his people the need to fight back against the invading European colonialism wins him no support whatsoever. Okonkwo, unable to defend his culture alone and unable to accept the change, hangs himself.

    Extractions: “The world is big. Some people are unable to comprehend that simple fact. They want the world on their own terms, its peoples just like them and their friends, its places like the manicured little patch on which they live. But this is a foolish and blind wish. Diversity is not an abnormality but the very reality of our planet. The human world manifests the same reality and will not seek our permission to celebrate itself in the magnificence of its endless varieties. Civility is a sensible attribute in this kind of world we have; narrowness of heart and mind is not.” -Chinua Achebe
