From the Paper:

"Understanding the Origins of Political Instability in Nigeria
Chinua Achebe's novel, Things Fall Apart, may be used as a tool to understand the origins of the political turmoil that has existed in Nigeria throughout the 1900's. Achebe's story takes place in an Ibo village of Nigeria during the early part of this century when the British began colonizing the region. His characters illuminate different elements in Ibo culture and demonstrate how the society reacted to imperial influence. If we compare the Ibo society to that of other areas in Nigeria, we can begin to understand the forces that cause instability in Nigeria to this day.


The Ibo culture depicted in Things Fall Apart has a remarkably fluid social structure. There is no established tradition of central political authority within the society."
