That had been the entire end of it all (Armah 126). This was what it had come to: not that the whole thing might be overturned and ended, but that a few black men might be pushed closer to their masters, to eat some of the fat into their bellies too. This was the thing for which poor men had fought and shouted.
In other words, it is for a therapeutic purpose. The coarse language is used as an electroconvulsive tool to deliberately alarm the reader to draw his attention to the decadence and corrupt behaviours Armah exposes and condemns in the novel.
The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born is deliberately crafted to sound very vulgar for a purpose. Armah's method in the novel is that he uses these corrupt practices to portray his disgust and hatred of the state of affairs in Ghana at the time of the novel. The study is premised on the use of scatology as a device in other to depict that every part of Ghana oozes out corruption of various forms and dimensions. Using The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born, and for in-depth study, the paper stresses the trajectory of Armah's philosophical reflections on 'the trouble with Africa' as it relates to governance and development. This research paper is a critical exploration of Ayi Kwei Armah's novel with a view to analysing the author's perception of, and responses to Africa's contemporary political history.
