Home and Exile Stockists

This trenchant and illuminating book by one of Africa's most influential and celebrated writers is a major statement on the importance and dangers of stories one in which Achebe makes telling use of his personal experiences to examine the political nature of culture and specifically literature. It is the weaving of the personal into the bigger picture that makes Home and Exile so remarkable and affecting. It's the closest we are likely to get by way of Achebe's autobiography but it is also a brilliantly argued critique of imperialism. Achebe challenges the way the West has appropriated Africa with a particular emphasis on how 'imperialist' literature has been used to justify its dispossession and degradation. Above all this is a book that articulates persuasively why literature matters. Stories are a real source of power in the world Achebe concludes and to imitate the literature of another culture is to give that power away.

"Right, so when you're scouring for a bargain in UK supermarkets, it's not just about hitting up Aldi or Lidl, though they're absolute legends for it, aren't they? You've got your Iceland and Farmfoods for fantastic frozen Home and Exile deals, and even the 'big four' like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Morrisons are constantly pushing their own budget-friendly ranges, which are often surprisingly good quality for the price. The trick to their affordability lies in a complex dance between the supermarkets (who are the primary Home and Exile stockists, of course) and their vast network of suppliers. Many of these bargain-driven Home and Exile stockists cut out the middleman, sourcing directly from farms or manufacturers, or they create exclusive 'own brand' lines where the suppliers produce goods specifically for that supermarket, often in huge volumes to drive down costs. So whether it's a massive food manufacturer producing tins of own-brand beans for half a dozen different retailers, or a local farm supplying potatoes directly to a regional distribution centre, it's all about strategic partnerships and bulk buying to ensure those purse-friendly Home and Exile prices end up on our shelves.
