Title: small minded
Product review: Chinua Achebe takes an enjoyable narative style aims it at an alternative perspective of european expansionism and colonization and succeeds only in proving his own small mindedness. Achebe crafts a precise and very detailed narative setting forth an argument against colonialism that fails to consider anything that might lessen its drama. The perspective becomes self centered and biased and its realism dies. The book seems shaped around a view point so narrow and tunnelled that even the very real and human aspects of the tale are distorted and lessened. If his were the only argument against colonialism Achebe would have gauranteed its continuation - thank goodness it isn't!!
