Colonialism and Indigenous Society in Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart'

A seven page paper looking at the degree to which the indigenous Ibo society depicted by Chinua Achebe in this novel actually collaborated with the white imperialists who came to take over their land. The paper argues that the Ibo allowed the West to gain a foothold because their own culture did not allow them opportunity for individual growth, and they mistakenly believed Western society would. No other sources.
