Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Now in our third year, Racial Justice and True Accotink Colors host a monthly Banned Book Club on the second Tuesday of every month. This month, we will discuss Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. Published in 1958 and set in Colonial Nigeria, this novel is the story of Okonkwo, a traditional and influential leader of the fictional Igbo clan of Umuofia, who opposes colonialism and early Christianity.

Join us Tuesday, Aug. 11 at 7pm (via Zoom) to discuss this book. Contact Mary K. for the Zoom link and to be added to the Banned Book Club mailing list.
