Post-colonialism and political discourse in Chinua Achebe's tetralogy /Bamshad Hekmatshoar, Ali Salami. - Champaign : Common Ground Research Networks, (c)2019. - 1 online resource - New directions in the humanities .
Includes bibliographical references.
Chinua Achebe and Things Fall Apart -- Arrow of God or Another Things Fall Apart -- An Arrow to Shatter Ease, Obi Okonkwo's World Falls Apart -- A Man of the People, The Postcolonial Nigerian Context and a New Tragic 'Otherness'.
"This book studies four novels by Chinua Achebe-Things Fall Apart, No Longer at Ease, Arrow of God, and A Man of People-so as to investigate how he has constructed his alternative discourse, a discourse which has been successful in providing a room where the colonized are given voices to speak and the reader has a chance to understand better their world and what they have confronted because of colonization. Since each novel focuses on a different colonial or postcolonial phase in Nigeria and Achebe has made use of different discursive strategies in each of them, it can be claimed that taking them as a tetralogy and studying them together can result in providing a vivid picture of Achebe's discourse and what his novels seek to mirror about the Nigerian hybrid identity and the colonized man's struggles in the way of dealing with 'otherness' and difference"--
