The book entitled Fanonian Decolonization and Purple Hibiscus attempts to bring to the fore the irresolvable cultural differences that create a rift between the colonizing West and the colonized Igbo to prove how the Igbo tribe disassociates themselves from the colonial domination of the West.  Till now, Purple Hibiscus is well known as a work which deals with the coming of age story of the protagonist Kambili and her brother Jaja. The notion of Fanonin decolonization and the usage of violence in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus probe into the depths of the decolonizing facet of this text. It delves into the depths of the power relationships established by the colonial rule and colonization, especially, through the introduction of Christianity, Western language and Occidental cultures.
