History, asked by rnegi2453, 9 months ago

In things fall apart, the europeans' understanding of africa is particularly exemplified in two characters: the reverend james smith and the unnamed district commissioner. Mr. Smith sees no need to compromise on unquestionable religious doctrine or practices, even during their introduction to a society very different from his own. He simply does not recognize any benefit for allowing the nigerians to retain elements of their heritage. The district commissioner, on the other hand, prides himself on being a student of primitive customs and sees himself as a benevolent leader who has only the best intentions for pacifying the primitive tribes and bringing them into the modern era. Both men would express surprise if anyone suggested to them that their european values may not be entirely appropriate for these societies. The commissioner's plan for briefly treating the story of okonkwo illustrates the inclination toward western simplification and essentialization of african culture.
