Theme - Things Fall Apart

This book has many different ideas that could be seen as "themes". One is, colonization of African clans is frowned upon by them, because while it's good that they are getting more cultured by learning English and practicing a different religion, it also is taking away from their true culture and who they are. Another big picture that can be taken from this novel, is how one must bring forth effort and pride in order for them and the rest of the clan to survive.
