The only power women had was religious based The British considered the natives "uncivilized" and brought in two groups of people to "civilize" them Governors Ruled the land under British law The village chiefs were to answer to them and carry out the British laws Missionaries Due to the belief that their culture and religion were "superior" the British had missionaries come to deal with the cultural aspects of the natives Tried to convert natives to Christianity and completely get rid of their cultures for a more "civilized" approach Done not solely to help the natives but to make life easier for the British Many times they were faced with resistance which sometimes led to violence At the turn of the 20th century, when this story takes place, the British wanted control of Africa for a few reasons Power Natural resources Land Trade routes The more land the British seized, the richer they became Ibo People FONTS Things Fall Apart Background Achebe published the novel in 1958 to give another side to the British colonization of Africa Nearly everything written before this showed the native Africans to be "savages" or "uncivilized" Achebe wanted to prove that this was not true and that the natives were just different from the British The story centers around Okonkwo, one of the village leaders of Umuofia The story is divided into three parts Before the British Start of British influence Result of British influence The story also centers around Okonkwo's desire to appear powerful and never weak Chinua Achebe Polytheistic (many gods) religion The gods controlled everything from rain to drought The Ibo people would have many festivals to celebrate many things One centers around the first yam harvest They also have what they call "The Week of Peace"

Things Fall Apart Background

Transcript: Colonization The Ibo worshiped gods who protect, advise, and chastise them. Not only did the gods advise the Ibo on community matters, but they also guided individuals. Each person had a person god, or chi, that directed his or her actions. A strong chi meant a strong person; people with weak chis were pitied. Things Fall Apart was published in 1958 just prior to Nigerian independence, but it depicts precolonial Africa. Achebe felt it was important to portray Nigerians as they really were. The story takes place in the typical tribal village of Umuofia. Achebe calls the inhabitants Ibo (but they were also known as Igbo). They were a hunting and gathering society who existed on vegetables. Yams were their primary crop. Yams were so important that they celebrated each new year with the Feast of the New Yam. This festival thanked Ani, the earth goddess and source of fertility. Yams also played a part in determining a man's status in the tribe- the more yams a man has, the higher his status. Achebe intended the book for audiences outside of Africa. He wanted to paint a true picture of life in Africa. The Nigerian educational system sought to encourage a national pride through the study of Nigerian heritage. The educational system required Achebe's book in high schools throughout English-speaking countries in Africa. The book was well-received. The Ibo Nigerians were frustrated by the implication that they were subjects of a monarch living 4000 miles away. In 1963, five years after Achebe's novel was published, a new constitution replaced the British monarch with a Nigerian president. English Bureaucrats Nigerian Independence British rule lasted from 1903- 1960. The regions (northern, southern, and western) were brought under the administration of one legislative council. There were three major tribes (Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo), and eight smaller ones. This diversity complicated unifying Nigeria. In 1960, Nigeria attained status as a sovereign state and member of a British Commonwealth. The Queen of England was still head of state. Things Fall Apart Background Tribal Society Within the village, people were grouped according to families. The eldest man in the family had the most power. On matters affecting the whole village, an assembly of adult men debated courses of action. The assembly was called Egwugwu If any violence occurred against white missionaries or bureaucrats, British soldiers would often slaughter whole villages instead of seeking out and punishing the guilty. The British passed an ordinance legalizing this practice in 1915. One of the more important results of colonization was the division of Africa into at least fifty nation-states. Africans lived according to political boundaries, and with different languages and livelihoods. Gods After centuries of taking slaves out of Africa, Britain outlawed the slave trade and began colonizing the continent. Missionaries sent to convert the locals were the first settlers. They believed they could atone for the horrors of slavery by saving the souls of the Africans. At first, Africans mistrusted the missionaries and took advantage of the free education without converting. Weaker individuals soon converted. Missionaries convinced tribesmen that they worshiped false gods, and their ranks grew. The Village
