LIT/A/3: The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born Ayi Kwei Armah

The Beautyful Ones is an complicated novel. It explores individual isolation, unequal development, corruption and wasted potential in newly independent African nations against a backdrop of centuries of colonial rule. There is no clear resolution in novel, and the outlook of it can be easily perceived as miserable. Armah mocks with great forcefulness and misshapen language all that is rotten in the world of hypocritical people, lost opportunities and the enormous gap between the few with all the money and power hence the theme that is Armah’s main focus is corruption that existed in various form politically and socially through means either bribing or embezzling,
