An Image of Africa/ The Trouble with Nigeria

Beautifully written yet considered by some controversial, “An Image of Africa” asserts Achebe`s belief in Joseph Conrad as a `bloody racist` and his conviction that Conrad`s novel Heart of Darkness only serves to perpetuate damaging stereotypes of black people, while “The Trouble with Nigeria” is a searing outpouring of Achebe`s frustrations with his country.Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves – and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives – and destroyed them. This is one of those books – whether you agree with Achebe`s sentiments or not, you won`t regret reading this collection.
