Abstract The objective of this study is to compare and contents the attitudes of Joyce cary and Chinua Achebe to Africa as manifested in their novels Mister Johnson and Things Fall Aparl Respectively. Yet the relationship between both novelists involves of necessity the complex socio-cultural and historical implications of the age-old dialogue between the west and the East and between Europe and Africa. It is this consciousness of an other-whether this other be the West or the Orient-with which to compare, contrast or rethink the Self, that thesis has grown out of the hypothesis that the works of Joyce Cary and Chinua Achebe represent vividly the main features of these heterogeneous camps. |
