Richard Begam – History and Tragedy in Things Fall Apart
In his scholarly piece in the journal Contemporary Literary Criticism , Begam discusses culture in the context of the postcolonial dynamics four years after the Nigerian independence, by quoting the author Achebe from four years after the independence movement had succeeded. "African people did not hear of culture for the first time from Europeans," Achebe explained; "…their societies were not mindless but frequently had a philosophy of great depth and value and beauty" (Begam, 1997, p. 2). Moreover, Achebe is quoted as saying, African people "…had poetry, and, above all, they had dignity" (Begam, p. 2).
