This critical anthology brings together some of the major contemporary revaluations of the entire oeuvre of Chinua Achebe. The contributors, accomplished scholars from across the globe, probe a side range of issues that have profoundly engaged Achebe, including neo-colonial appropriations in post-independence times, alternative paradigms of identity-formation and cultural resistance, affirmative uses of oral linguistic tradition, representation of the feminine (gender) in the author’s narratives, and his persistent efforts to liberate African criticism from Euro-centric stereotypes. The volume unfolds, through multiple theoretical and critical frameworks, the incredible literary journey of Achebe, his creative and intellectual output, and his personal and societal re-discovery.
