Post Colonial Awareness in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart

Abstract

Post colonial awareness refers to the representation of race, culture, ethnicity, and identity crisis in the modern era of globalization and Chinua Achebe’s fiction demonstrates his use of English language not only as a communicative device, but also as a vehicle to carry the weight of a cultural experience. It is an embodiment of the Nigerian civilization and therefore dramatizes modes of perception within its cultural grouping. The present paper explores the post-colonial awareness of the African people and culture in the context of colonization.
