Synopsis "A Clash of Cultures: in Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart (in English)"
"Drawing on her personal experience as a Nigerian, Emmanuela C. Nwokeke C.P. provides a fresh analysis of the socio-political and cultural conditions of the Igbo people via Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. She examines themes of identity, tradition, and resilience, as well as the ways in which the Igbo people both challenge and are challenged by the changing world. Readers are taken on a journey through the struggles of the Igbo people." -Professor Davide Del Bello (University of Bergamo, Italy)"The book in your hands represents a detailed and creative work on the face-off between British colonialism and pre-colonial Igbo society. Drawing from Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, the author brilliantly articulates a thriving Igbo culture prior to the British invasion. She challenges the Igbo-pessimistic stereotypes that cast pre-colonial Igbo society as a primitive jungle devoid of civilization. A Clash of Cultures is an excellent companion to Achebe's Things Fall Apart and provides an interpretative lens for appreciating its depth." -Lazarus Ejike Onuh, S.T.L."A fascinating interpretation of Chinua Achebe and an insight to Things Fall Apart from a postcolonial point of view. A must-read for people from all walks of life." -Sr. Juliet Emereonye, C.P."There is no doubt that Things Fall Apart is one of the most significant Nigerian novels as the novel portrays in clear terms the conflict between Western culture and Igbo culture during the era of colonization. A Clash of Cultures gives a contemporary analysis of the impact of the conflict and exrays it in vivid terms. This book will give a reader a clear understanding of the current situation. It helps one to know where we are today and how we got there. I highly recommend this book to all." -Fr. Jude Alih, M.S.P.Emmanuela C. Nwokeke, C.P. hails from Imo State, Nigeria. She is a Passionist Sister of St. Paul of the Cross. She holds a BA in Foreign Languages and Literature and an MA in Pan-American Languages and Literature from the University of Bergamo, Italy.
