Chinua Achebe Group Discussion

A point of information taken from our group discussion was the fact that Chinua Achebe was surprised that his book impacted other locations which had been colonized. In his interview with African Voice he expressed that he had received letters from South Korean girls who stated they shared the same feeling of oppression Nigerians had. This made him realize the actual impact his book had, opening up the spectrum from his audience. The idea of suppression and oppression through colonization is well understood worldwide but by writing the oppressors side of the story helps one understand the entire story, not just the suppressor's story.
