Ngugi is one of the most important novelists on the contemporary
world stage, and someone whose name has for many become synonymous
with cultural controversy and political struggle. Patrick William's
lucid analysis offers the most up-to-date study of Ngugi's writing,
including his most rcent collection of essays. Focusing on
important aspects of Ngugi's work which critics have hitherto
ignored, and drawing on a wide range of relevant theoretical
perspectives, this study examines the growing complexity of Ngugi's
accounts of the history of colonised and post-colonial Kenya. The
cultural and anti-imperial politics on Ngugi's experimentation with
language and form in both novel and drama is discussed, including
the important role of culture as a source of historical memory and
strategies of resistance for oppressed groups. All the novels and
the major plays are studies in detail, and in addition a
substantial chapter examines Ngugi's contribution in the area of
non-fiction. -- .
