Clear examples of this cultural transplant are given in this work, including but not limited to the use of English language in place of the indigenous languages for communication even when there are no foreigners, smoking of cigarettes, ladies putting on trousers, abortions as a means of birth control, free premarital and extramarital sexual relationships, and homosexuality and gay practices. These which were viewed as an anathema to Nigeria＇s cultural values have supplanted the traditional conservatism of the Nigerian people. This work particularly looks at Chimamanda Adichie＇s Purple Hibiscus and distills classical cases of cultural imperialism. Adichie through the character Eugene, captures cultural imperialism as seen in the life of this vastly brainwashed ＂been-to＂ who is clearly portrayed as an imperial lackey, capitalist, and apologist. Also, the character of Rev. Father Benedict, a Briton, who often found any indigenous songs in St. Agnes Parish was quite offensive. The work also captures cultural imperialism in the ironical contempt with which the catholic devotee, Eugene, treats his own father, Papa Nnukwu, steeped in the traditional African cultural values, and Eugene viewes him as Godlessness. The essay concludes by identifying the cultural crises that cultural imperialism creates in the Nigerian state, and recommends ways of diluting and diffusing the present cultural imperialism as a solution to the myriad of socio-political crises currently experienced by the Nigerian society.展开更多

It realizes the sublation of theory and ideology by means of critical, explanatory and constructive logic, displaying a unique theoretical originality. Lenin＇s theory of imperialism offers a theoretical reflection on the development of capitalism and its historical trends; it is a practical response to the world structural contradictions arising from imperialism, an epochal reflection that vigorously explores and constructs the value claims of a new civilization and provides in-depth Marxist view of world history. The methodology and general principles of Lenin＇s study of imperialism are based on the materialist view of history. They are not out of date, nor are the propositions in his theory of imperialism, based as they are on research into monopoly. At the same time as it declared war on the values, systems and practices of the old world, Lenin＇s theory provided a completely new cognitive method, philosophical attitude and ideal values for the future society. This has become the precious wealth of mankind, wealth that transcends historical time and space.展开更多
