A Postcolonial analysis of Chinua Achebe's A man of the People (original) (raw)

This paper was a postcolonial analysis of Chinua Achebe's novel, A Man of the People. The paper was of the argument that there is a need to look into various texts from a postcolonial perspective in order to unveil that which is concealed so as to provide a means of resisting the coloniser for the colonised. Postcolonial literature is key in understanding the coloniser and the colonised in aspects, such as politics, culture and education among others. From this analysis, it was concluded that Achebe's novel, A Man of the People is an element of postcolonial literature on its own as it is representative of contrasts of political, social, economic, cultural and moral aspects.
