Primary data were obtained by the method of careful reading. A targeted selection method was used to find the selected novels. For verifying and clarifying the primary data, secondary data were obtained from the library. The discussion of the presented data was done by using the theory of Realism. The article explains that globalization has various effects on African societies. Some of its effects have been identified in investment, culture, economy and development of African communities. These effects distress every field of progress in African civilizations. This article suggests that African leaders should be quick to build strong policies aimed at selfcriticism and self-correction to take concrete steps to face the identified effects. Also, they should protect the values and actions existing in their countries for the benefit of their citizens as well as build strong economic foundations to avoid dependency.
