Kenyan dramatist and novelist Ngugi wa Thiong'o is a hugely
influential African writer respected not only for his creative work
but also for his criticism of wider cultural issues - issues such
as nation and narration, power and performance, language and
identity, empire and postcoloniality. Simon Gikandi's study, first
published in 2000, offers a comprehensive analysis of all Ngugi's
published work and explores the development of the major novels and
plays against a background of colonialism and decolonisation in
Kenya. Gikandi places the works in a context that examines the way
they engage with the changing history of Africa. Tracing Ngugi's
career from the 1960s through to his role in shaping a radical
culture in East Africa in the 1970s and his imprisonment and exile
in the 1980s, this book provides fresh insight into the author's
life and the historic events that produced his work.
