There Was a Country.
This author accused another author of "inducing hypnotic stupor in his readers, through a bombardment of emotive words and other forms of trickery." That essay by this author begins by describing a "young fellow from Yonkers" who comically assumes that he needs to travel to find "odd customs and superstitions." This author claimed that he "turned an ancient...fable on its head" to fit the political climate of the late '60s while producing the Citadel Press edition of John Iroaganachi's How the Dog was Domesticated, which became How the (*) Leopard Got Its Claws. He controversially accused his native country's government of genocide in his 2012 memoir There Was a Country. This author argued the exact opposite of Ngugi wa Thiong'o's Decolonising the Mind in his essay "The African Writer and the English Language." His most famous essay links an author's obsession with the N-word to that author's portrayal of the title place as " 'the other world', the antithesis of Europe and therefore of civilization." For 10 points, name this author who called Joseph Conrad a "thoroughgoing racist" in "An Image of Africa," and who also wrote Things Fall Apart.
