Although she wrote her book three hundred years after Olaudah Equiano’s and one hundred years after Joseph Conrad’s, Imbolo Mbue raises the same issues they did in their narratives, which is respect for people of color and for the place they live in – why is it so?
Literature would have had the capacity to change the world if people respected their own pledge, as Equiano’s book culminates in the abolition of slavery he campaigned for, yet, after him, Joseph Conrad and Imbolo Mbue have to persist because of our common failure
Imbolo Mbue’s novel shows us that when the West fails to act on simple issues like the respect of human life, the containment of pollution, etc., people in Africa and abroad are pushed to using extreme means like terrorism to enforce them, but when the West does act, for instance to stop slavery as Equiano shows, all of us gain from it
