Ethnography is a branch of anthropology that considers man geographically and descriptively. Ethnography focuses on the ethnicity of particular group of people. We can treat it as a literature of knowledge that gives us authentic information of particular group of people. In fact all postcolonial literature can be treated as ethnographies, because the post-colonial literature deals with cultural background of the respective group of the people. If we study postcolonial, literature we get substantial knowledge of the ethnicity of particular group. Ethnic literature is the product of an author who is ethnocentric and deliberately chooses to feature the significance of ethnicity in his Writings. Ethnic writing is a result of author’s own ethnic gaze inward, reading of self as ethnic subject. Chinua Achebe the inventor of African novel, the teacher of African People and guardian of their custom wants to establish Africa as independent nation. He traces Igbo ethnicity in details and through his novel.
