Although the history of colonialism is not new as states with more military prowess and expansionist outlook have always acted belligerently and without any temperance, yet the discourse on Colonial Empires and the abuses related thereto, emerged as a separate discipline in Academia and intellectual circles only from 1980s and 1990s onwards. This Discipline encompasses for analysis, the Colonial rule, concomitant exploits and the natives’ response to the grand narratives enunciated by their colonial masters and western writers. It is against this backdrop, the present research paper attempts to highlight the anticolonial discourse in Africa and delve into the concept of reversion to the golden and glorious past which the African poets and writers espouse, with special reference to Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart.
