Things Fall Apart is a novel by the Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe that tells the story of Okwonkwo, a "leader" of his region and well known old fighter, who after a series of unfortunately events lost his faith in everything he knew and everything he build during his life, this book is during the context of the precolonized and colonized Africa and is written and elaborated during long times of the life of Okwonkwo and his family around his village and another towns. This book is important to understand the colonization of Africa and the lost of the animism and the organisation of Africa and how it changes after the Europeans came. Things Fall Apart deals with the idea of the transition of the urbanization of Africa even if it is in a precolonized and first steps of the colonization, that’s the central problem of the book in this analysis. At the beginning of the book until the first steps of the colonization we can see how the villages, and Africa, was organised before the colonization, where the land was freely used and shared, the power was based on controlling people than land and the interaction of the people with urbanization was different. In first place, the use of land was considered freely and shared, being long or short spaces between them, the power was over the resources or people and that’s visible with the fruits and vegetables plantations that where something related with rich people of the village, the spaces as the stadiums of the fighting or the religious spaces where shared between everyone and where a form of reunion of families and the people, but not something private or organised, that changes when the missioners came to the villages and start creating private spaces like the church’s where the people cannot enter at least they where part of the same group. With that idea of the first colonizer buildings it begins a new conception on power that is reflected to nowadays that is the change of the power over the people than the land to a power over the land than the people, this with the idea that a building such as a church is something sacred or important making that piece of territory so important that the people reflects fear and honour to it, creating a difference to the stablished big man culture. This create a new interaction between the people and the land, with a more land-use organisation of the villages and the creation of more institutions (with also a sacred context) by the colonizers such as a police station or the ruler spaces, where the preconception of the land that principal character Okwonkwo had, was broken and how he tried to rebel against this organisation to maintain as he knew his territory and his world. This led to Okwonkwo to the suicide as a rebel answer to being against this change and preferring to maintain a natural order of the urbanization, the sequel of the book “No Longer at Ease” shows the results of this first colonization with an urbanized Lagos. As a synthesis, this book reflects not only the precolonized urban organisation of Africa but also how is Africa organised nowadays not in modern organisation but in the principles, it seems to be ordered nowadays, where is important the fear and honour to those sacred spaces, the power resides on the land over the people and the privatization is a common area in spaces right now. It’s difficult to process how hard it is to abandon all your knew world to a new in change, mostly against everything you grew up with but also in the nowadays conception, seeing it in a way that it was an imposed knowledge and not a discovered one, creating all of the problems of nowadays urban structure of Africa, that should be different to the European one, but it finished being the same over land a people completely different.
