I enjoyed this book, it is quite interesting and through it I realised how much "literature" helped slavery bloom.
I quote, from the back page of the book, a comment by the Observer, which totally reflects how I feel "Delves deep into the psyche of oppressed peoples and concludes that its vital for them to take back their own stories"

Three lectures Achebe delivered on colonialism, culture, and identity. Brief yet interesting.

Excellent series of essays by one of the most influential African writers and thinkers of the 20th century. He provides a lot of insight into the nature of the colonized mind and its effects.
