Achebe’s first new book in more than twenty years a new collection of autobiographical essays from the world-renowned author of Things Fall Apart.Chinua Achebe’s characteristically measured and subtle voice is ever-present in these seventeen, beautifully nuanced pieces. The Education of a British-Protected Child offers a vivid portrait of growing up in colonial Nigeria. Achebe recalls both his happy memories of reading novels in secondary school and the harsher truths of imperial rule. In ‘;African-American Visitations, ‘ he allows us to witness the terrifying nature of the African diaspora and what it means not to know ‘;from whence he came.’ Politics and history figure in ‘;What is Nigeria to Me?, ‘ ‘;Africa’s Tarnished Name, ‘ and ‘;Politics of the Politicians of Language.’ And Achebe’s extraordinary family comes into view in ‘;My Dad and Me’ and ‘;My Daughters.’Charmingly personal, intellectually disciplined, and immensely wise, The Education of a British-Protected Child is an indispensable addition to the remarkable Achebe oeuvre.From the Hardcover edition.
