The Subtle Plague: Materialistic Visage of Neocolonialism and Its Consequences in Armah's Fragments
2011Co-Authors: O. VictorAbstract:This paper examines the materialistic visage of Neocolonialism in Ayi Kwei Armah’s Fragments. While Neocolonialism is often seen in African leaders’ role as stooges of the erstwhile colonial powers in order to perpetuate themselves in office, this paper argues that the masses’ unbridled penchant for foreign goods and life styles is itself another form of Neocolonialism, albeit subtle. This paper not only sees this development as part of the “new realism” which came in the wake of political independence but also posits that the way forward in the continent may lie in nonconformity, its repercussions notwithstanding and a return to the way of production, human relationship and reciprocity as symbolized by the visionary Naana.
