Chinua Achebe has long been regarded as Africa's foremost writer.
In this major new study, Jago Morrison offers a comprehensive
reassessment of his work as an author, broadcaster, editor and
political thinker. With new, historically contextualised readings
of all of his major works, this is the first study to view Achebe's
oeuvre in its entirety, from Things Fall Apart and the early
novels, through the revolutionary Ahiara Declaration - previously
attributed to Emeka Ojukwu - to the revealing final works The
Education of a British Educated Child and There Was a Country.
Contesting previous interpretations which align Achebe too easily
with this or that nationalist programme, the book reveals Achebe as
a much more troubled figure than critics have habitually assumed.
Authoritative and wide-ranging, this book will be essential reading
for scholars and students of Achebe's work in the twenty-first
century. -- .
