Renowned worldwide, as novelist and dramatist, Ngugi wa Thiongo's contributions to the body of critical writing on African literature, politics, and society have been highly significant. His best known critical work is Decolonising the Mind. These latest essays reflect Ngugi's continuing interests and enthusiasms. His choice of writers is original. He makes us look again at their novels to address his lifelong concerns with the ways to independence, the meanings of colonialism, and the takeover.
Ngugi wa Thiong'o is Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Irvine.
