Achebe levels the charge of racism against Joesph Conrad and his novel the Heart of Darkness. Achebe calls it vile‚ and that it only seeks to set the white race above the black race.

Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. In his essay‚ Achebe presents several reasons as to why Conrad is racist in his novel and why Conrad is a racist himself. Although Achebe is a celebrated author and is called the “father of African literature‚” his reasons for calling Conrad and his book racist are unjust and flawed.
