This book of essays, co-edited by M cere G thae M go and Herbert Ruffin II, is the latest critical volume of essays on the late Achebe, celebrating him as an iconic literature and orature genius. The essays also reflect upon ways in which Achebe s writings and teachings, viewed as examples of the art of resistance, have impacted Africa, the so-called Third World /Global South, as well as the world at large more than fifty years since the publication of the much decorated Arrow of God. However, although Arrow of God is the highlight of celebration at the novel s fiftieth anniversary since publication, there is a deliberate effort to illuminate it within the larger contexts of not just the whole body of Achebe s writing and especially the trilogy; but his legacy in general.
