Question

Read this excerpt from the New York Times about Achebe’s writing and answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer:

Achebe felt that the books about Africa that were written by Western writers during the time of the British Empire gave a biased, inaccurate view of the native people and the continent, and undervalued and distorted their culture.

Achebe's mission was to give an insider's view of Africa and portray the true image of the African people and culture during the colonial period.
