Arrow of God
One of Africa's most well-known authors depicts the war between the old and the modern in its most moving manifestation: the battle between father and son, which is set in the Igbo heartland of eastern Nigeria. The six communities of Umuaro worship Ezeulu, the brazen chief priest of the god Ulu. But his power is coming under growing pressure from members of his own family, rivals in his tribe, and colonial government officials. He nevertheless thinks he is untouchable.
