Kojima Nobuo & Chinua Achebe/Colonialism
A 5 page essay that contrasts and compares Kojima Nobuo's "The American School" and Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart." The writer argues that in both works, the context of the narrative presents a native culture trying to accommodate and adapt to an alien cultural presence. The protagonists in each work react to the invaders with hostility, but also in ways that reflect their own cultural past. In so doing, the authors demonstrate how misunderstanding of cultural mores and practices provides the foundation on which the entirety of the colonial experience is based. No additional sources cited.
