Thank you for submitting recommendations for the 2007-08 "Text in Community". I am pleased to inform you that the committe has selected Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart as the 2007-08 "Text in Community".

Achebe's book has been translated in 50 different languages. Things Fall Apart is considered to be Achebe's masterpiece, which is compared to the Greek tragedies. This compelling story depicts the African culture and a sweeping picture of Nigeria, its people, practices and turmoil experienced by invasion.

We look forward to engaging the University Community in a dialogue about the book. I am sure that your units will develop and conduct exciting activities related to the 2007-08 "Text in Community".
