    Ngugi Wa Thiong''O, Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o et al.ARTICLEWorld Literature Today2013Citada por: 1

    As William Blake saw eternity in an hour, Ngg wa Thiong'o argues for an ethics of reading that assumes the interconnectedness of time and space in the area of human thought and action. This globalectical approach reads every center as a center of the world and each text as its mirror

    A tribute or eulogy by one writer to another is always an invitation to the audience or readers to sit back and share in some of their moments or encounters, as the case may be. Chinua Achebe's transition in March 2013 triggered one such response from Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o

    Ngugi Wa Thiong''O, Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o et al.ARTICLEJournal of African Cultural Studies2013Citada por: 4Referências: 2

    There's a tendency to assume that knowledge, education, jurisprudence, and especially philosophy, come from the pen. This is because knowledge, the world over, reaches us through books. The most do

  • Something Torn and New

    Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o, Ngũgĩ Wa ThiongʼoBOOKSomething torn and new2009Citada por: 12

    Novelist Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o has been a force in African literature for decades: Since the 1970s, when he gave up the English language to commit himself to writing in African languages, his foremost concern has been the critical importance of language to culture. Here, Ngugi explores Africa's historical, economic, and cultural fragmentation by slavery, colonialism, and globalization. Throughout this tragic history, a constant and irrepressible forc…

  • On David Cook

    Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o, Ngugi Wa Thiong'OARTICLEResearch in African Literatures2004

    David Cook first came to Makerere on a visiting basis about 1962 before returning to the same academy on a full-time basis as a lecturer, eventually climbing to the top as Professor of English Department. But the climb was a few years after I had left the academy where I graduated in English with honors in 1964.1 therefore studied under David Cook for a good two years. I remember him for his classes on Matthew Arnold, Culture andAnarchy mostly, a…

  • Hegel in African Literature

    Open AccessNgugi Wa Thiong''O, Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o et al.ARTICLEDiogenes2004Citada por: 1

    The colonial project has three interrelated facets. It is at once a practice; a body of knowledge; and a technology for mind change, or simply mental engineering. Decolonization is necessarily a negation of the three-in-one character of the colonial process, to produce a third possibility: independence, liberation and social justice. Colonialism as mind-engineering results from colonialism as practice and text but it also aids them. Mind-engineer…

  • Hegel dans la littérature africaine

    Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o, Eunice Njeri SahleARTICLEDiogène2003

    Il s’agit d’une analyse des Innocents de Bertolucci. L’analyse s’approfondit progressivement sur quatre niveaux. Elle revele que ce film, meme s’il ne porte que sur la fermeture de la cinematheque lors des evenements de Mai 68, met en scene une mutation progressive du regard qui va s’etendre sur une grande partie du xxe siecle. Il s’agit, dans un premier temps, d’un regard bienveillant qui laisse flotter l’incertitude et dont le pouvoir discrimin…

  • Europhonism, Universities, and the Magic Fountain

    Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o, Ngugi Wa Thiong'OARTICLEResearch in African Literatures2000Citada por: 3

    Iwas lucky, in preparing for this lecture, come across one of Eric Ashby's books, African Universities and Western Tradition, and a cursory reading brought a sense of recognition. I noticed the irony in the way the book had crossed my life while also embodying a number of my con? cerns. The book was the Godkin lectures he gave at Harvard University in 1964. It was the year I graduated from Makerere College with a University of London honors degre…
