I just finished it today. It was very interesting to read of the lives and traditions of the Ibo people, and it was very sad to see them begin to be destroyed by the colonial machine.

I also finished it very recently. It was interesting learning about the Igbo culture. It was sad seeing the colonization and I really wished they rose up before it was too late. The book also promotes a good understanding of the relationship between property and patriarchy, I am actually going to write an essay on this.
