Listen "RACISM in classic literature?"
Episode Synopsis
Our Title Bout Conrad vs. Achebe After reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and “An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness,” which bandwagon do you jump on? Are you willing yet to take sides in this much-disputed, much-critiqued battle of writers? Consider the following while making a significant post to http://baxterbloglhs.blogspot.com : What was your personal experience like while reading Heart of Darkness (HoD)? Were you offended by any of Conrad’s narrative or description? In retrospect, should you have been? Why? Do you agree with what Achebe argues in “An Image of Africa,” or do you take a different tack? Why? Make your posts to the blog as you’ve done before, incorporating others’ comments in your responses. AS ALWAYS, INCLUDE FIRST INITIAL AND LAST NAME AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR POST.
