SUMMARY
This chapter looks into the power dynamics in The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born by Ayi Kwei Armah and Anthills of the Savannah by Chinua Achebe. Even as facts represented in the chosen books have tremendous application to the actual scenario in a number of African countries, the study examines topics connected to authority and societies in addition to authority and influence in an African background. There are references to a one-party dictatorial regime and its affiliated practice of imprisoning political rivals without charge or trial, drinking and substance use as a way to cope with daily issues, the letdown of retrieved soldiers who received no form of compensation, and the savage poverty experienced by common people.
