        <description><![CDATA[Achebe's " A Man of the People" explores the issue of power and corruption.  Using post colonial Africa as ths metaphor, Achebe uses Chief Nanga as the supreme example of power in developing nations.  Rising from poverty, Nanga gives voice to his citizenry in articulating a nation's dreams and the visions of a successful body politic.  In the process, he becomes seduced and entranced with the trappings of political power.  Corruption and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One of the main themes in this novel is the corruptness of the government as it struggles to define itself in post-colonial times. Chief Nanja is the symbol of this corruption as he manipulates the people for his own wealth and social status. The irony lies in the title, Man of the People;for in this work, a man of the people is, paradoxically, a man against the people, yet the people do not want to face their own deception as they desire...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The British Amalgamated represents everything that is corrupt in Nanga's deceptive rule. This incident occurs when Chief Nanga is discussing his new road with Odili prior to the arrival of the Americans. We discover that the new road must be tarred immediately according to Nanga's wishes, yet there is a delay because an African boy,really a native African soil expert, wants the soil tested prior to the road being paved. Complicating the matter...]]></description>

For example, in this chapter, they greet Nanga and his wife by their Christian names, &quot;Hi Micah, hi Margaret...&quot; Odili is shocked at their impudence as he is the same age and a friend of Chief Nanga, yet would never use those personal names.
