This research critically examines the postcolonial sense of resistance in the perception and appreciation of Chinua Achebe’s fiction, especially, his politically influenced novel about militarism. This research attempts to demonstrate that Achebe’s fiction is a derivative of the corpus of verifiable, realistic literature on militarism in Nigeria’s postcolony. It also shows how dominated people resist against the western values. In the novel through the mouthpiece character Ikem, Chris and Beatrice, Achebe raises the postcolonial issues and challenges the mainstream history of the westerners. Ultimately, the entire work that is based on Anthills of the Savannah provides a panorama of resistance adopted by Achebe’s literary spirit.
