Abstract

This research is about Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart as an image of British colonialization in Ibo Clan Nigeria analyzed from postcolonial perspective. The objectives of the study are to reveal British colonialization in Ibo Clan Nigeria and to describe the impact of British’s colonialization to the Ibo people as reflected in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. This research is qualitative with content analysis method. The object of the study is British’s colonialization in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, and the data are words, phrases, and sentences about the British colonialism through religion, politics and economy found in the novel. The data analysis was conducted using postcolonial theory. To get credibility and validity of the finding, the researcher implemented triangulation and discussion technique. Meanwhile, in order to gain transferability, the researcher provided descriptive data clearly and efficiently. The researcher reread the novel to get dependability and consulted her research findings to her thesis consultants to achieve the conformability. The result of the analysis shows two important points. Firstly, the British colonialization is conducted through religion, politics and economy to the Ibo Clan Nigeria. Colonialization through religion becomes the fundamental method in Britain’s colonial era because the Ibo people are notoriously religious and religion is a central element in society. Therefore a change of religion necessarily involves a change of culture. The colonialization continues through politics, the British set up a court and government in Iboland to strengthen their power. Furthermore the British set up trading system and taxation. Secondly, the impact of British’s colonialization to the Ibo people can be seen from the clash between Ibo people who worship their tradition and they who convert to Christianity and uphold the British government. The British colonialization and clash between Ibo people causes the collapse of the ingenious Ibo.
