The word African generally evokes an image of backward, shantily clad and lazy individual. These stereotypes were created by the colonial narratives and subsequently fostered by travel narratives. These stereotypes are still a part popular culture. Chinua Achebe was the first African writer to challenge the stereotypes. He started presenting a defence of his people with his first novel Things Fall Apart his first novel become a success and inspired the next generation of African writers. Chinua Achebe was a genius who did an excellent study of colonialism and colonial institutions. His novels could easily become a subject matter for sociological and anthropology studies. The current paper is a study of Chinua Achebe’s novels Things Fall Apart and No Longer at Ease.
