Thanks SO for this article. Let me also thank the Hon. Finklstein for the clarification. As long as Achebe keeps sending these deadly Arrows of God into the conscience of the Whiteman, he wll never win a Nobel Prize

They examined the new thing, seeking out signs of deference to Empire, some acknowledgement, some appeal to European authority. Things Fall Apart showed none of that. It was Africa recreating Africa. The college and the city of Ibadan had found its voice’.<<<
