Ngugi wa Thiong’o : Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Resistance
Chakraborty, Amitayu
As a part of Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literature, the book explores the complex of ways in which Ngugi wa Thiong'o wrestles with issues of nationalism and ethnicity through his politically subversive and creatively intense literary texts. His novels and plays are fraught with his anxiety, resistance, and defiance concerning Gikuyu ethnicity, Kenyan nationalism, and a curious, globalectic imaginary. In this way, the book re-appreciates Ngugi offering scholarly insights into the present debates over identity politics as well as aesthetics that animate contemporary research in postcolonial studies, world literature, and African studies across the globe.
