dc.description.abstractThis research, on Achebe's fictional work, Anthills of the Savannah is an attempt to expose the postcolonial scenario of Nigeria which happens to present the issue of a non-western country being influxed by western culture where fictional non-western setting in the country of Kangan,frequent use of western-African dialect and the references to Ibo cultural practices support evidences of the resistance to the western values. 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.en_US
