Abstract
alan paton's cry, the beloved country and chinua achebe's things fall apart are both groundbreaking novels intertwining multifarious aspects of the human condition and human relationships to highlight the conflict between the white colonisers and native blacks in Africa at different points in African history. achebe's narrative signals the first indicator of tribal decline in Africa, exploited by the white colonisers to exert power in their expanding empire. The death toll of tribal life in Africa in things fall apart symbolises the human predisposition towards conflict as the ethnic tensions are replaced with the tensions between the whites and blacks.
