Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

A tale by a famous Nigerian in a tribal Igbo setting following the trials of a highly renowned clan warrior.

I learned that in old Nigerian tribal culture you can beat your wives and kids when they disrespect you, and most of the villagers sit around getting drunk on palm wine and telling stories about the evil spirits that live in the forest while building walls out of mud.

At some point the main characters gun goes off and kills an elder's son by accident.

I'm actually becoming more racist reading this lmao
