Things Fall Apart Revisited

While reading Things Fall Apart for the third time, I read it in High School and College, I came across a recent article about Nigeria by Chinua Achebe. In this article Achebe speaks to many of the modern problems which many post-colonial nations are dealing with.  Achebe looks at colonialism though a long historical perspective and does not use it as an excuse to why, in this example Nigeria is rife with problems but rather an reason to be examined in order to develop methods to solve the problems which colonialism created.
