Introduction Ayi Kwei Armah’s Fragments remains one of the most influential postcolonial African novels of the twentieth century. The novel presents a powerful critique of materialism, corruption, cultural alienation and moral decay in post-independence Ghanaian society. Through the experiences of Baako Onipa, Armah examines the psychological and social consequences of colonialism, as well as the conflict between traditional African values and Western materialistic ideals.
