Critics describe the novel as reflecting the concerns of West Africans during the immediately post-colonial African community,[1][3] nationalism,[3] westernization,[3] the difficulty adjusting to returning to Africa from abroad,[1] and the "ethos" of Freetown society at the time.[2] The novel has overt Pan-Africanist political themes, juxtaposes the "black world versus the European".[3] The book also describe characters in terms of Jungian psychology.[4] Charles Larson called the novel "African Gothic", though this characterization was criticized by reviewer Omalara Leslie in Black World.[5]
