I just finished Things Fall Apart and I can't believe how wild pre colonial african culture was. Was this book exaggerated or was it really this level of people beating up their child brides and mutilating babies? This is the first book about the period I've read and I'm dying for more now.
>>25128886>was
>>25128886Oh boy! Wait until you read about the Middle-Ages in Europe!
>>25128886You have to read The Dance of the Lizard's Tale
>>25129012seething
white schools is push this shit to blame us for shit meanwhile yall drops nukes on china like
>>25128886>pre colonial AfricaWhat do you think Africans are doing right this second?
>>25128886>beating up their child brides and mutilating babiesThis is how traditional tribal societies were/are like everywhere. It's why Papua New Guinea has such a high domestic abuse rate
>>25129227Being held accountable isn't the same thing as being blamed J'darqnesse.
>>25128886I was made to read this in elementary school and I had to have it explain to me that what they meant by iron horse was automobile because I didn't pick up on that.
>>25129315I thought it was bicycle because they call bicycles iron horses later.
>>25129603Its probably a class thing
>>25129722What do you mean by that?
>>25130667By class, I mean class of vehicles. I'm supposing that they're referring to bicycles, cars, and motorcycles, all as iron horses, Since the concept of vehicles in general was foreign to these people.
>>25128886This is the dipshit who started the "Joseph Conrad is racist because he didn't have enough child rape in Heart of Darkness to properly express our beautiful culture" hysteria
>>25131145Would have helped if the people explaining shit to you as a child read the fucking book themselves, it was a bicycle
>>25131170Ok
>>25128886>mutilating babiesTo be fair, The baby was dead and they knew it was dead when they started mutilating it. It was only the desecration of a corpse. Anyways you should probably pick up some nonfiction on the topic.
>>25131172Is there any good nonfiction on this?
>>25128886The rest of the African Trilogy is pretty solid too
>>25131564Is it continuous?
