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.

Download or read book Igbo Culture written by Reuben Eneze and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author presented his book Igbo Culture in a most convincing way by quoting expert opinions on most of the issues he discussed in the book. Through his carefully researched work and detailed analysis of facts, he showed in the book that Igbo youths working hard like their ancestors can reform Igboland into a new and better civilization by sifting the good aspects of Igbo culture into today's way of life. He started his book by making a brief reference to the possible migration route of Igbo ancestors from their earliest settlements in the forest region of Central Africa to their present-day settlement in Southeastern Nigeria of West Africa. He also made a brief reference to the development of the Igbo civilization through the period covering the Stone Age and Iron Age civilizations (pages 114). He painted a clear picture of the cultural background of the community where he was born and brought up and lived in for more than sixty years before he traveled to the United States of America. He traced the more than twenty-six generations-deep lineages, beliefs, concepts, customs, and history of Ihe Shikeaguma in Ntuegbe clan of Enugu State in Southeastern Nigeria as a sample core Igbo culture community. He also delved into the historical links and social formation of this community, with emphasis on genealogy, religion, settlement, language, government, law enforcement, defense, seasons, festivals, and residential structures (pages 1583). He took his readers to Igbo thought on God, self, family, human life, birth, death, spirit, human mind, and reincarnation (pages 85113). He clearly documented the cultural products of Igbo thought, which can be seen in the formulation of Igbo institutions with special reference to marriage, the extended family system, the social status structure and title system, festivals, informal education, traditional law, community service, religion, divination, and health-care services (pages 114202). He explained that the symbolism of various articles and some spoken words in Igbo culture are products of Igbo thought. He referred to ofo stick, kola nut, alligator pepper, spears, tribal face marks, body paint, white chalk, and the young palm frond as symbols or instruments of Igbo philosophical expressions and concepts (pages 203214). He showed how Igbo culture and philosophy have been affected by the cultures of Igbo neighbors in Nigeria and by other foreign cultures with special references to the following: (a) Ugwuele civilization (a Stone Age culture)1,000,000 BC500,000 BC (b) Nri civilization (a ritualized kingship system)AD 800AD 1700 (c) Aro civilization (slave trade and colonial era)AD 1700AD 1850 (d) Border civilization (slave trade and colonial era)AD 800AD1900 (e) External civilization (slave trade and colonial era)AD 1700AD 2000 (pages 215238) The author concluded his work by making an evaluation of Igbo culture. He carefully examined the oriented values of the Igbo and highlighted those areas of Igbo culture that should be refurbished and reinfused into Igbo life by the Igbo themselves in order to transform Igboland into a big theater of modern civilization (pages 239246).

Download or read book Igbo Voices Hidden Wisdom from the Ancient Language written by Uzoma Nwosu and published by . This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are looking for the 'Rosetta stone' that unlocks the Igbo language; you can look no further.This book describes how Igbo words were derived from verb (or word) combinations. This type of word design is used in the Pharmaceutical Industry. For example, the Dihydropyridine class of Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs) contain the suffix "-dipine" and are distinguished by their prefixes (amlodipine, nifedipine, felodipine, nimodipine, etc). There is little or no information about the etymology of Igbo words and the author only performs 'verb' descriptions using his knowledge of ancient and current Igbo culture. For example, the word for leg 'ukwu' contains the verb 'kwu' which is stand-the leg is used in standing. The word for cup 'Iko' contains the verb 'ko' which is draw- the cup is used to draw water. Priest or UkoChukwu contains uko (planting) and Chukwu (God)- a Priest plants the 'seed' of God in people. Nwute ( prolonged agony), okwute (stone), Ite (Pot) and Ute (mat) contain the suffix "-te" which is 'prolongation'. Otu (one, 1), Otu (group), and Ntu (nail) contain the suffix 'tu' which is 'oneness'. .."fascinating book.."-Rudolf Okonkwo, Iroko Productions/Sahara Reporters. .."interesting book..."- Prof. francoise Ugochukwu, Igbo Specialist. .."good..must read for all Igbo families.."- Chief Oscar Mokeme, Founder of the Museum of African culture, Portland, Maine. .."Odogwu..it's ok..."

I believe the years of ignorance of gentile psycho-manipulations are over, and we truly need to start looking at ourselves the way we were made. Let us not allow the cultural imperialism in the context of the superpower status of English Language to remain potent in our continued existence. It is sad to note that Igbo Language and Culture, which recorded modest gain in the past, has been in limbo since the death of its founder and foremost exponent, F.C. Ogbalu, in 1989.

It is the poetic testament of a race and culture and the living embodiment of the thoughts and fancies that molded them." This Igbo book is worth reading for every Igbo student and lovers of Igbo culture.
