Row over alleged pornography in Kenyan schools

A Man of the People, and two other books by internationally recognised author Chinua Achebe are at the centre of a education row in Kenya. According to a BBC World News report a Roman Catholic parents group has declaimed the works as "pornographic" and demanded their removal from schools.

Achebe was included twice in the Africa's 100 Best Books of the 20th Century list which was announced in February 2000: for Things Fall Apart and Arrow of God.
