Home And Exile (Used)

By (author): Nechama Brodie. Note: the ISBN on file is for Chinua Achebe's "Home and Exile," not Nechama Brodie as currently listed — flagging this for the data-quality review. Achebe's book collects three autobiographical essays reflecting on colonial-era schooling in Nigeria and how European powers shaped narratives about Africa. Drawing on the impact of his own novel Things Fall Apart, Achebe argues for the necessity of Africans telling their own stories, calling it a major statement on stories as a real source of power for those whose histories have traditionally been told by outsiders.
