The analogy in the title “The Many Faces of Nigerian Food" alludes to the ethnic diversity of Nigeria and its diversity in terms of culture.
Explanation:
Nigeria is a diverse nation. It has many ethnicity that have overlapping and different cultural practices of their own.
These ethnicity all interact with each other in the modern world and are able to create modern cuisines along with their own traditional ones.
It is also to be seen that the nation was colonized by the British who had brought their own ideas of Cuisine that persist to this day.
The tea, the coffee and the dishes around toast have persisted.
The homegrown dishes made around Yam and meat of cattle have also persisted to this day and modernized.
I love this book!
But I am not sure what you mean with your question (it's missing a verb).
But if you're looking for more information: The sense of guilt in this book is often created by other characters, when they're trying to come to terms with some tragedy (such as many characters being blamed for Sophie Mol's death). So in a way, guilt can function as an explanation. But also it's created by the social norms (as when Estha feels guilty because of the Orangedrink man).
“He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his master.”
And
“It would make him discontented and unhappy.”
