Things Fall Apart
Manage episode 352598867 series 2905827
A Nigerian literary great.
Chinua Achebe debut novel 'Things Fall Apart' follows the life of Okonkwo, an Igbo man and acclaimed wrestling champion of the fictional Nigerian clan of Umuofia. The book, first published in 1958, depicts pre-colonial life in the southeastern parts of Nigeria and the arrival of colonialism and its effects on the cultural and religious traditions of Umuofia.
A thought provoking episode, Zach draws parallels with Okonkwo and the Japanese art of seppuku, Reuben does a brief TED talk (yawn..) about cultural evolution and transmission and Kehinde unpacks masculinity, religion and poses the question:
Do we control who we become?
Tune in, sit back and enjoy!
