Born in Ogidi, Nigeria, Achebe was educated at the University College of Ibadan (now the University of Ibadan). He subsequently taught at various universities in Nigeria and the United States. Achebe wrote his first novel, Things Fall Apart (1958), partly in response to what he saw as inaccurate characterizations of Africa and Africans by British authors. The book describes the effects on Ibo society of the arrival of European colonizers and missionaries in the late 1800s.

Robert Kimbrough, London: W. W Norton and Co., 1988, pp. 251-261. To Westerners, Achebe is perhaps the best known (or at least most frequently studied) African novelist. Ahelpful 'beginning' web site that gives biographical and bibliographical information is: http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/achebe.htm ; a more comprehensive website is: http://landow.stg.brown.edu/post/achebe/achebeov.html I propose to draw from these rather trivial encounters rather heavy conclusions which at first sight might seem somewhat out of proportion to them. But only, I hope, at first sight. The young fellow from Yonkers, perhaps partly on account of his age but I believe also for much deeper and more serious reasons, is obviously unaware that the life of his own tribesmen in Yonkers, New York, is full of odd customs and superstitions and, like everybody else in his culture, imagines that he needs a trip to Africa to encounter those things. The other person being fully my own age could not be excused on the grounds of his years. Ignorance might be a more likely reason; but here again I believe that something more willful than a mere lack of information was at work. For did not that erudite British historian and Regius Professor at Oxford, Hugh Trevor Roper, also pronounce that African history did not exist?

The book was listed as a top poetry pick for 2004 by about.com. Bob Holman states that LitKicks has "found a new way to make an anthology open, free, and eternally interesting." Christened Albert Achebe in homage to Prince Albert, husband of Great Britain's Queen Victoria, Chinua Achebe was born in Ogidi, located in Eastern Nigeria, on November 16, 1930. Igbo, formerly called Ibo, is the language of Ogidi and serves as the cultural identifier to Igbo speakers. Achebe has become one of the most well-known contemporary authors from the African continent. His first novel placed Achebe in the literary spotlight immediately following its release. The novel was a departure from colonialist views of African lifestyles and customs. Over the years Achebe has been characterized as the father of the African novel. Achebe's early work changed the standard, accepted depiction of African people as random savages. Although Albert Camus and Doris Lessing's work also endeavored to expose the value of African culture and experience, Achebe believed his work and literary crusade offered a view "from the inside."

    Extractions: CHINUA ACHEBE AND I MET for the first time on Martin Luther King Day, this year. It was snowing hard and the trip from New York up the Saw Mill River and the Taconic was daunting. When I pulled into the little frozen-mud drive that led to his house near Annandale-on-Hudson, and was asked in, I felt an immediate sense of warmth warmth both physical and of spirit. I'd heard this about Chinua and his family. I had heard that he was not just a man of immense literary greatness, but that he embodied a profoundly decent humanity. Since that snowy day I have had the good fortune of passing many hours with him up at Bard College, where we both teach. I've since read and reread all his books, and count him without hesitation as one of my favorite writers. I think it is a shame that he a hero in his native Nigeria, well-known throughout the rest of Africa, and in Europe remains less appreciated in America. Many readers, myself quite obviously included, are committed to Chinua Achebe's vision and work. But it is clear to me that many more people would be well advised to examine the implications of his novels, his essays, his stories and poems especially in this country, which is altogether too insulated from world-writers, as we might call them, writers who reach out beyond the imaginable and attempt to address life at its widest possible cast. From the publication of his first novel, Things Fall Apart

    Extractions: Who is Chinua Achebe? Chinua Achebe was born in Nigeria on November 16, 1930, the fifth of six children of Isaiah and Janet Achebe. His father was a teacher with the Church Missionary Society. When Achebe was five, his father retired, and the family moved to their ancestral village of Ogidi - into a house of earthen walls with a sheet-metal roof. When Achebe was twelve, he left home with an older brother, who taught at a school in Nekede. He eventually earned a scholarship to Government College, a secondary school. He became something of a hero in his village, acquiring the nickname "dictionary" for his knowledge of English. After a short time as a teacher, Achebe became a producer for the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation in Lagos in 1954. Things Fall Apart was Achebe's first novel in 1958. For his contribution to African Literature, Achebe was awarded the Margaret Wong Memorial Prize in 1959, the first of many literary awards. In 1961, Achebe became the first director of external broadcasting in Nigeria for the British Broadcasting Corporation. That same year he married Christiana Chinwe Okoli. They had two daughters and two sons. Achebe went on to write a number of other novels and short stories. His richly African stories re-create the old ways of Nigeria's Igbo people and recall the intrusion of western customs upon their traditional values. During the countrywide persecution of the Igbo in 1966, Achebe was forced to leave Lagos for eastern Nigeria. He took an active part in the struggle for independence.

Chinua Achebe (1930- ) is a Nigerian writer and scholar. He became well known after his first novel Things fall apart (1958), which depicted the encounter of the Igbo people of Nigeria with the British colonial power. His subsequent novels and short stories are likewise set in West Africa. Achebe's poetry was written out of the experience of the Biafran war of 1966-1970. He became Senior Research Fellow at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1970, and Emeritus Professor of English in 1985. After holding several visiting appointments in Britain and the United States, in 1991 he became Professor of Languages and Literature at Bard College in New York.

    Extractions: This page last revised 19 May 1998 The African Trilogy A powerful instrument of control used by the colonizing powers is the instrument of language. Language forms a huge part of the culture of a people - it is through their language that they express their folk tales, myths, proverbs, history. For this reason, the imperial powers invariably attempted to stamp out native languages and replace them with their own. As Ashcroft, Griffiths and Tiffin point out, there are two possible responses to this control - rejection or subversion. ( The Post-Colonial Studies Reader, The African Trilogy Any reader of The African Trilogy comes away with at least a limited knowledge of Igbo words and phrases. Some words such as obi, chi, osu, and egwugwu become assimilated very quickly into this knowledge through the way in which Achebe scatters them casually through the text. Others, which occur less frequently, require translation or a few words of explanation, such as ilo (the village playground), or
