Achebe’s first novel Things Fall Apart made him the doyen of modern African writing in English, and this was reinforced the subsequent publication of Arrow of God and No Longer at Ease. They altogether came to be known as African Trilogy. These developments happened in the decades following the receding grip of the colonial powers not only in Africa, but world across. Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism had a strong support wherein the Occidental was challenged in its own terms, much like sports, scientific developments, governance and other cultural markers. These happened at the time when literatures were being increasingly producing several magnum opuses by authors from Latin Americas, India, Middle East and South East Asian nations, most areas which were connected by colonialism. Achebe successfully brought out the conflict faced by the otherwise isolated cultures and how individuals/nationals were interacting with an interconnected world. This article therefore attempts to form a discussion on how in the African Trilogy, the protagonist, who was himself is representative of native African ideologies, tackled the changes of his self-vis-à-vis the changes of the community.
