The Controversy Between Chinua Achebe and Candice Bradley Over Conrad's Heart of Darkness

Conrad 's dark heart has been controversial for many years. One aspect of this discussion is that the novel is very racist and the others believe that it is not racist at all. I personally think that this is not racial discrimination, but for people like Chinua Achebe, the novel is nothing but a person like Candice Bradley who refutes the text. Tinuua Cave sent an article entitled "African Image: Racial Discrimination in the Conrad's Darkness" and explained his attitude towards the novel.
