THINGS FALL APART, NO LONGER AT EASE and ARROW OF GOD, Chinua Achebe's first three novels, popularly known as THE AFRICAN TRILOGY, truly sounded the first distinct voice of confronting the prevailing colonial discourse in postcolonial Africa. Achebe's perception of Africa as an insider and the articulation of this experience in the language of the colonizers posed him a crucial politico-linguistic dilemma, which he attempts to resolve in a hybrid English that reflects his struggle to overcome the complex of using the oppressors' tongue, thereby creating his own brand of English. Ironically, the construction of this counter colonial language is eventually found to be deconstructing the very language consciously constructed. Although...

This work is a philosophical exposition and analysis of Theistic panpsychic rationality of African values, literature, poetry, communication, arts and science as African contributions to the Global village. Theistic panpsychic rationality is not only the African second order method for reviewing and solving human problems but also the metaphysics and hermeneutics of African literature such as Chinua Achebe's ‘Things Fall Apart' as well as African conceptions of ethics, history and science. It is a synthesis of the classical and contemporary African philosophies and a bridge to African self –determination and renaissance in the postmodern world. This is one the four great works of Maduabuchi Dukor on African Philosophy which include...
