Issue of Resistance in Chinua Achebe’s Anthill of The Savannah

Abstract

Chinua Achebe’s Anthill of the Savannah critiques the colonial effects launched by the British rulers and their African agents. So, this study explores the issue of resistance. Chinua Achebe uses the non-western elements and resists the white domination. The text shows the colonial implication even after the colonization and rejection. In addition, the study further incorporates the voices of revolt and protest as the characters grow more consciousness about their national identity. Use of African setting, myth, folklore, style and characters typically shows his challenge to western literary traditions.
