Book excerpt: “A true classic of world literature . . . A masterpiece that has inspired generations of writers in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world.” —Barack Obama “African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe.” —Toni Morrison Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Things Fall Apart is the first of three novels in Chinua Achebe's critically acclaimed African Trilogy. It is a classic narrative about Africa's cataclysmic encounter with Europe as it establishes a colonial presence on the continent. Told through the fictional experiences of Okonkwo, a wealthy and fearless Igbo warrior of Umuofia in the late 1800s, Things Fall Apart explores one man's futile resistance to the devaluing of his Igbo traditions by British political andreligious forces and his despair as his community capitulates to the powerful new order. With more than 20 million copies sold and translated into fifty-seven languages, Things Fall Apart provides one of the most illuminating and permanent monuments to African experience. Achebe does not only capture life in a pre-colonial African village, he conveys the tragedy of the loss of that world while broadening our understanding of our contemporary realities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Igbo are one of the most populous ethnic groups in Nigeria and are perhaps best known and celebrated in the work of Chinua Achebe. In this landmark collection on Igbo society and arts, Toyin Falola and Raphael Chijioke Njoku have compiled a detailed and innovative examination of the Igbo experience in Africa and in the diaspora. Focusing on institutions and cultural practices, the volume covers the enslavement, middle passage, and American experience of the Igbo as well as their return to Africa and aspects of Igbo language, society, and cultural arts. By employing a variety of disciplinary perspectives, this volume presents a comprehensive view of how the Igbo were integrated into the Atlantic world through the slave trade and slavery, the transformations of Igbo identities and culture, and the strategies for resistance employed by the Igbo in the New World. Moving beyond descriptions of generic African experiences, this collection includes 21 essays by prominent scholars throughout the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: .........Subsequent contributors to the debate have merely rehashed extant knowledge in fresh verbiage and yet arrived at the same destination as their predecessors. Two reasons explain this impasse. One is the absence of fresh evidence to permit a revisit of the status quo. The other is timidity or reluctance of younger people to challenge positions staked by older people assumed to be icons of Igbo studies. Humphrey Akaolisa has refused to be so "intimidated" and to swallow hook, line and sinker the established viewpoints. To be sure, this book is not per se a work of dissent...... .........Akaolisa recognizes the inconclusive nature of the Igbo origin's debate, stressing that the motive for his endeavour is not to lay to rest that debate but to open new vistas of inquiry. In this regard, it seems to me that he has been successful. For this book has resurrected and freshened old questions, challenged existing orthodoxies and provoked new lines of inquiry. I recommend it to anybody interested in the subject of Igbo origins and the surrounding controversies. Prof. Onwuka Njoku This work borne out of deep and intensive oral and book research is conclusive in tracing the origin of Igbo -History........ Indeed a glance through this book will convince you that it is many books in one........ This work heralded a new dawn in the research on Igbo History. He has in my humble opinion succeeded more than anybody before in ascribing an original home base for the Igbo people with Igbo-Ukwu as the principal dispersal point. Cyril O. Ike "For the first time, I enjoyed reading a work on Igbo origin. Anyone who has digested this enthralling work will never remain the same on this discourse........
