chinua achebe

Modern African Literatur Chinua Achebe In viewing the two videos on the famous African writer, Chinua Achebe, I learned about various beliefs, unbearable circumstances, and African traditions not consistently taught in many classrooms today. Chinua Achebe expressed many of his feelings and thoughts on the history of Africa, including religion, tradition, and the corruption brought to Africa by the early Europeans. Many of the points made by Chinua Achebe is expressed in his short stories …

…and life of African people. In the conclusion of the interview, Chinua Achebe was asked to tell what Africa wants to say to America, his response: “We are people; not funny beings; look at Africa as! a continent of people, listen to them”. Achebe also noted that the weak does all the listening, and the strong forgets to let the weak speak. It’s time for the strong to listen to the weak. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
