Africa invaded by Britain
The book, Things fall apart by Chinua Achebe is comprised of two stories. One about a strong warrior in Nigeria named Okonkwo who does not always follow with the traditions of his people and Okonkwo slowly starts to fall from grace with the tribal world. The second story is about the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo's world because of European missionaries. Things fall apart is not an easy book to get through but it is a worthwhile read.
