The writings of 20th-century Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe consider the impact of the modern world on traditional African culture. Achebe earned international renown with his first book, Things Fall Apart (1958), a novel set in eastern Nigeria under British colonial rule in the late 1800s. In the book, an exiled tribal leader returns to his village after seven years, only to find that colonial laws and the Christian religion have weakened the identity of the tribe. An actor recites this excerpt from the novel.
