Description of  Critical Readings of the Works of Ngugi wa Thiong'o

1036400468 pdf In this collection of scholarly essays on the works of Ngugi wa Thiongo, one of the most important postcolonial writers alive, the contributors adopt a range of reading approaches and analytical models like feminism, postcolonialism, historicism, formalism, and psychoanalysis, to excavate new meanings and provide fresh insights into Ngugis artistic oeuvre. Through some robust and engaging scholarly discourses, the volume animates the politics, poetics, and artistic vision of Ngugi wa Thiongo, as well as his commitment to the enterprise of decolonisation. The comprehensiveness of this collection is partly illustrated by the fact that it addresses a range of diverse issues in all of Ngugis novels, most of his plays, and some of his scholarly works. To this end, the volume is a valuable addition to the body of literature on Ngugis works and an important resource material to students, teachers, and researchers of African literature. Read more
