Chinua Achebe is a pretty cool guy.

Things Fall Apart by Achebe

Africa was never able to produce anything of cultural value on its own.

Except, you know... Culture.

>>434485
>Africa was never able to produce anything of cultural value, that I know of, on its own. Because any culture that I don't know of obviously doesn't exist.

fix'd that for you.

There's a reason the smart ancestors left that shithole.

The literary wasteland.

OP here. Wasteland it is.

>value

Well, you'd have to edit that picture or your original post considering that North Africa is part of of Africa (despite colonization & a European presence) and it's produced some fine work.

This. At least the niggers entertain us with their antics on the sports field.

Now notice how they're all form no earlier than the 19th century.

Not really, Australians have rugby. They also have cricket, and although they weren't credited with it's invention, do play it well.

>>434476
>>434482
Correct.

>>434544
So? You asked if it was a literary wasteland & someone links you to something which shows it is not.

I thought it was pretty well known that the oral tradition of storytelling was what was prevalent in Africa before the 19th century, at least.

that's true, but they're still there.
also, most of the cultures didn't really have written languages, and then Europe came and enslaved/educated them, which ended in the 19th century. But still, age doesn't really matter that much to this.

Things Fall Apart was really well written

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?! WHY WASN'T I TOLD?!

>>434598

yep he mad

This thread is just dumb. I guess no one on this thread heard of Nigeria? Nigeria is full of well educated people that come to America and learn many skills including writing. Also I guess we are also ignoring all of South Africa.

>>434613
>Nigeria

>>434558

>>434613
>Nigeria

Calm down on the racism.

>>434624

/lit/, a literary wasteland.

Gaya Niger

OP here.

lol faggots.

>>434624
Dam Aussies are fuck annoying

>>434624
why do you keep bringing up crying during 9/11?
it was a terrorist attack on a metropolitan area that resulted in like 3000 deaths. It's understandable if people cried.

>>434649

Talk about internalized oppression.

lolol look at those stupid africans, we are so much superior! go us!

>>434653
sad thing is he's probably an american trying to piss other americans off because he's 15 or something
>>434654
