This question is based on Ferdinand Oyono's The Old Man and the Medal
'' We are here to die of rage! say die of rage because this time the uncircumcised have gone too far...''
The word uncircumcised in the statement above by Nti refers to
Akọwa Nkọwa
In the statement, "uncircumcised" refers to the whites. The word is used metaphorically to suggest that the whites are not initiated into the customs and ways of the indigenous people. It implies that the whites are outsiders who do not understand or respect the local traditions and beliefs. This is a common theme in postcolonial literature, where the colonizers are portrayed as ignorant and arrogant towards the colonized people.
