{"product_id":"hopes-and-impediments-chinua-achebe-9780385414791","title":"Hopes and Impediments: Selected Essays","description":"One of the most provocative and original voices in contemporary literature, Chinua Achebe here considers the place of literature and art in our society in a collection of essays spanning his best writing and lectures from the last twenty-three years. For Achebe, overcoming goes hand in hand with eradicating the destructive effects of racism and injustice in Western society. He reveals the impediments that still stand in the way of open, equal dialogue between Africans and Europeans, between blacks and whites, but also instills us with hope that they will soon be overcome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chinua Achebe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 038541479X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385414791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.19w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/1990","brand":"Chinua Achebe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996745105663,"sku":"9780385414791","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4a3789f-f143-4b3b-8e52-e4ec1b99e86e.jpg?v=1683343445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hopes-and-impediments-chinua-achebe-9780385414791","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
