Two Thousand Seasons

This classic novel was first published in 1972 and highlights Africans engaged in fighting for their freedom. Through the reconstruction of a thousand years of African history, Armah shows Africans living as people in a seemingly unending cycle of the horrors of both internal and external subjugation. He shows how the schisms within African societies that allowed for colonial destruction are in part of their own making, and includes warnings that might enable them to free themselves of the road to continued destruction.
