Social Consciousness and Ngugi’s Post-colonial Fiction

Description

Ngugi wa Thiong’o is one of the most significant writers from Africa. His life is a symbol of what Kenya has gone through pre-colonial and post-colonial period and his work provides an excellent starting point to understand the many inter-related cultural, political, linguistic, and developmental dilemmas that encompass the African continent and yet remains obscure to many. Present book is an attempt to analyse what Ngugi wants to achieve by employing his pen as a weapon of change to handle these issues and to depict his social consciousness reflected in his seven novels from Weep Not, Child to Wizard of the Crow.
