Home and Exile

Achebe’s writing is personal and thought provoking. It is a book which should cause one to re-educate themselves. It is particularly good for a breed of “woke” African, who with a western education and exposure has lost their essence.

This little book from Achebe is great for its exploration of intellectual colonization and its consequences in Africa. The presentation is fluid and elegant.....a piece of art from the master story teller and humanist. I recommend this book to all those who believe that every culture should have a place in the global table and that diversity makes the world a better place. I am a great fan of Achebe and this book has lived up to the high billing I have of him. Kudos to a great man of letters.

I love Achebe. So I love this collection of three of his essays. His prose is clean and concrete, he is clear and intelligent. Since these are from public lectures he gave at various points, it's easy to read them as they were meant to be engaging. A great little book for anyone interested in learning more about Achebe and postcolonial studies.

Once again the writer describes a story with feelings and keen narration..the reader will not put it down..one must relate to the story and you will find yourself deep in thought,, Achebe is a unreconized icon..I used his "things fall apart" when I was an educator.. and the students loved it and they still recomended it to other students..literatue at is best

NOTHING

We need more book on Africa written by African's available to American readers. Mr. Achebe will be surely missed but he leaves us a treasure in his books

Interesting views from someone who lived in the villages when the missionaries came . Not a very positive view of the missions.

good book...

For anyone who wants to understand the psychology of the ones dispossessed by colonialism ... read on. Simply and sharply told.

Achebe bespricht darin die Misere Nigerias unter der britischen Kolonialherrschaft sowie seine eigenen Erfahrungen und Eindrücke.Es ist zwar durchaus ein politisches Essay, hat aber einen Hauch von Science Fiction.Insbesondere setzt sich der Autor mit dem Thema Heimat und Exil auseinander. - An dieser Stelle auch Nuruddin Farah sehr empfehlenswert!
