Question

1What notable contrast did Achebe recognize between
Time magazine's assessment of Joyce Cary's novel Mister Johnson and his own
assessment of the work? In An African Voice

Answer 1

The notable contrast which Achebe recognized between Time magazine's assessment of Joyce Cary's novel Mister Johnson and his own assessment of the work is:

• He disagreed with Joyce Cary's description of Africans as having "an undertow of uncharitableness ... a contagion of distaste, hatred, and mockery." and wrote Things Fall Apart to show the African perspective.

Who is Chinua Achebe?

He is a Ni-gerian nobel laureate who has written several critically acclaimed novels such as Things Fall Apart and No Longer At Ease, amongst others.

With this in mind, we can note that the Time magazine declared the Joyce Cary's novel Mister Johnson as "the best book ever written about Africa" and this was in contrast with Achebe's thought as the book was written from a European perspective to colonization.

Hence, Chinua Achebe responded with his book Things Fall Apart to show the African perspective to European colonization and to show the Ni-gerians in a better light than was originally painted by Joyce Cary.
