Chinua Achebe and the Igbo-African World: Between Fiction, Fact,
and Historical Representation explores Chinua Achebe's literary
works and how they communicated the Igbo-African world to readers.
Engaging in the politics of representation, Achebe sought to
demystify deterministic views of race and cultural ethnocentrism.
While his books and commentaries have been very influential in
shaping a unique and multifaceted view of the African world, some
scholars have challenged Achebe's representations of historical
reality. Through in-depth analyses of his writing, contributors
examine the interpretations Achebe imposed on African culture and
history in his texts. The chapters cover Achebe's engagement with
critical issues like historical representation, gender relations,
and indigenous political institutions in a changing society.
Throughout, contributors present new ways for understanding
Achebe's literary works and show how his work draws from African
historical reality and identity while challenging Western
epistemological hegemony.
