Abstract:
This article brings to light the obstacles that impede countries like Kenya to develop. In Black Star Nairobi, Mukoma WA Ngugi addresses cultural diversity issues and ethnic crisis. Like other African writers such as Chinua Achebe, Ngugi WA Thiong’o, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Mukoma WA Ngugi displays to what extent Kenyans are tied to their cultures, traditions and ethnics. He demonstrates how ethnocentrism can have an impact on the socio-political activities of his people. He also pinpoints the drawbacks engendered by ethnocentrism like radicalization, terrorism and illegal immigration.

Abstract:
<p>African writers like Ngugi Wa Thiong’o have not relented in their portraiture of the dehumanizing plights of the working class. Ngugi is a revolutionary writer conditioned by the colonial, post-colonial and neo-colonial socio-political and economic quagmire and experiences surrounding him, and as such he has no choice than to use art as an avenue of expressing his ideology and vision about the multifaceted problems as pictured in his society. This paper therefore, examines commitment in literature with particular focus on the Kenyan writer, Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s committed literature and social vision, his stylistic use of satire. The conceptual framework is Marxism using Ngugi’s Matigari. The study as a close textual analysis adopts the descriptive design.</p>

Abstract:
This article evaluates, within the context of the increasingly important position assigned to African literature in general (and the novel in particular), the dominant roles played by Bessie Head and Ngugi through a focus on the significant contributions of these two writers concerning the theme of women and transformation. Although both authors put a high premium on wotnanism, showing themselves as champions of especially sexual and racial freedom for all women, their novels indicate different trends in their portrayal of this theme. Head, for instance, becomes increasingly autobiographical in her articulation of her female protagonists ’ struggle for freedom from oppression, while Ngugi tends to become increasingly politically biased in expressing his Marxist social, political and economic doctrines. This article furthermore examines the ways in which Ngugi and Head highlight different aspects of the discourse of female liberation, while also studying the dialogue of transformation and a sense of belonging. Finally, it remarks on Head's and Ngugi's aesthetic approaches to the discourse of women and transformation.

Abstract:
L'analyse thematique de l'engagement dans l'oeuvre de ngugi wa thiong'o est etudiee a travers cinq romans et quatre pieces de theatre. Elle est enrichie par les travaux extra-litteraires (les essais et les interviews). Le travail est divise en 3 parties. La 1ere partie definit le theme d'engagement et recherche ses manifestations a travers les attitudes et les reactions telles qu'elles sont apercues au kenya dans la periode coloniale et post independance. Cela donne l'occasion a ngugi wa thiong'o de recreer des situations dans lesquelles les forces fictives ne laissent aux personnages aucun choix que de choisir chacun son cote. La 2e partie aborde la question de la langue, son pouvoir de communication et sa relation avec le theme d'engagement. Elle examine l'experience de la communication traditionnelle a travers les chansons, la danse, les proverbes. Dans le schema de communication nous y decouvrirons le nouveau public de ngugi wa thiong'o et les problemes de la publication en langue africaine a travers l'exemple de la langue kikuyu. La 3e partie etudie le role symbolique des mots, des images et des symboles. Elle examine les aspects narratifs de l'oeuvre et aborde ensuite l'etude de point de vue. Donc les personnages etudies n'ont d'autres solutions que de choisir chacun son camp. Cela apparait dans leurs prises de position a travers leurs propos et leurs actions. Leur createur n'est pas epargne car il est place dans le role civique ou il est contraint d'agir en pleine contradiction dans la situation conflictuelle de sa societe
The thematic study of commitment in ngugi wa thiong'o's work is analysed in five novels and four plays. The work is enriched by the extra-literary work of essays and interviews. We have divided it into three parts. The irst part seeks to define commitment and analyses its manifestations in the attitudes and the reactions during colonial and post independence periods in kenya. This gives to ngugi wa thiong'o an occasion to recreate fictional forces in which his characters reveal their choices as they react to the various situations. The 2nd part looks into the language issue and its communicating power in relationship to the theme of commitment. It surveys the use of the oral traditional means of communication (songs, dances, proverbs and sayings). The analysis of the schematic mode of communication introduces us to the issue of the new public of ngugi wa thiong'o and looks into the problems of publishing in an african language, the case of the kikuyu language. The 3rd part explores the symbolic universe of words, images and symbols. It surveys the art of story telling and analyses the point of view. So, most characters studied have no way out but to choose sides. This is found in their words and their actions. Their creator is not spared either for we find him playing at the civic role in the midst of contradictions and conflicts in his society

This study investigates the ambivalent traits of third world postcolonialism. Third world postcolonialism appears as an antithesis against the logical fallacy of the binary oppositions performed by the contemporary first world postcolonial theory and practice. The division between the first and the third world postcolonial aesthetics is due to their different interpretations and practices of the term 'postcolonial,' respectively.

Abstract:
L'engagement de la litterature africaine remonte a la publication de ba touala par rene maran en 1921. Cet engagement s'est caracterise par une prise de position frontale contre les pouvoirs coloniaux et la revendication de la liberation de l'afrique et des africains. Dans les cercles des critiques litteraires et d'observateurs de la litterature africane, des voix s'etaient elevees pour s'interroger sur l'avenir de cette litterature a l'avenement des independances en 1960. Les interogations reposaient sur la nature de la litterature africaine d'avant les independances, l'epoque ou son theme central etait la contestation de l'ordre colonial, la lutte pour la liberation de l'afrique. A leurs yeux, le caractere engage de cette litterature n'avait plus sa raison d'etre a l'ascession a l'independance des etats africains les oeuvres de ngugi wa thiong'o, ecrivain de la periode postcoloniale, montrent par leurs themes, leurs objectifs, que la lutte pour la veritable liberation de l'afrique et des africains continue apres le les independances. Il demontre que la prise du pouvoir par la petite bourgeoisie africaine, alliee au capitalisme, perpetue l'alienation l'exploitation de l'afrique et des africains
Commitment in the african litterature goes back to 1921 that saw the publication of batouala by rene maria n. This commitment was based on open opposition to colonial powers and the revendication of the liberation of african states to sovereignty in 1960, literary critics of the african literature questioned its future on the ground of the fact that its central theme had been since the refusal of colonial order and the struggle for the liberation of africa. For them, the proclamation of inde pendances has ended its commitled trend. The writings of ngugi wa thiong'o, a post colonial writer, show by their theines and objectives that the struggle for the liberation of africa still goes on. He sustains that the takeover by a small african emiddle-class allied to capitalism perpetuates the alienation and the exploitation of africa. For him african litterature and a frican writers must remain resolutely committed on the side of the peasants and the workers in order to fight the african middle-class and seek the way to topple capitalism

Abstract:
Par le biais de leur culture les colons en pays Gikuyu se sont mis à vider le cerveau de l'indigène de tout son contenu. Ils se sont emparés de toute terre cultivable. Cet écrivain Gikuyu, Ngugi, use de la fiction et de l'histoire pour présenter la vérité sur le phénomène colonial et sur les causes de la situation dramatique actuelle du Kenya et, par la même, de l’Afrique. La confiscation des terres par les blancs et la redistribution irrégulière de ces mêmes terres par les politiciens kenyans font partie de ces causes. Fidèle à ce qu'il appelle les "guérilleros littéraires" Ngugi se présente comme le purificateur de sa société, l'apôtre de la rééquilibration et du changement à tout prix dans l'intérêt des opprimés. La religion chrétienne et l'éducation occidentale sont aussi responsables des troubles qui tourmentent les personnes qui se trouvent dans sa fiction. Pour pouvoir faire face à leurs problèmes, Ngugi demande aux kenyans d'aller chercher les forces stabilisatrices dans leur passe. Ngugi évoque le thème de la trahison pour demander aux siens de faire un effort pour se découvrir. Une particularité de Ngugi c'est de créer des personnages faibles pour véhiculer des idées importantes. La présence de certains de ses personnages féminins est une d'inhabituelle dans la littérature traditionnelle. Ngugi les crée afin d'universaliser, pour les deux sexes, sa lutte pour la justice sociale. La clé de l'engagement permanent de Ngugi se trouve dans son enfance, dans ses expériences personnelles au Kenya ainsi que dans son association aux étudiants de tendances marxistes à Leeds
Through the expedience of their culture, the colonialists in Gikuyuland tried to empty the native's brain of all content. They laid hold of every cultivable land. Ngugi makes use of fiction and history to present the truth about the colonial phenomenon as well as about causes of Kenya’s present dramatic situation. The seizure of the people's land by the white men and the unequal redistribution of this land by Kenyan politicians are some of the causes. Faithful to the role of what he calls "true literary guerillas", Ngugi shows himself to be purifier of his society, the apostle of equilibrium and of change. Also, the Christian religion and western education have contributed to the social scourges which plague the people in Ngugi's fiction. Ngugi calls on Kenyans to return to their roots to look for those element of stability with which they can solve their problems. Ngugi makes good use of the theme of treachery as a means of asking his people to rediscover themselves. A particularity of Ngugi's is that he projects important ideas through the consciousness of his weak characters. Ngugi creates certain female protagonists (who are rather unusual figures in traditional African literature) as a way of universalizing, for both sexes, his long-standing fight for social justice. The key to Ngugi's constant commitment can be found in his childhood, in his personal experience in Kenya as well as in his association with Marxist-inclined fellow-students at Leeds

Abstract:
Using a nexus of discourse theory, the French Feminism of Helene Cixous and the deconstructive Marxist Feminism of Gayatri Spivak, this work examines the production of the sign 'woman' in Ngugi wa Thiong'o's fiction. I locate Ngugi's semiotics of the feminine in the conflicting discursive formations of two historical junctures of Kenyan resistance to colonial rule (the female circumcision debate and the Mau Mau insurgency) , in which 'woman' is mobilized as a metaphor for the Kenyan social matrix by Gikuyu nationalist/traditionalist discourses. Following Spivak, I find in female circumcision a metonym of the silencing of the subaltern woman as an agency in insurgency. Ngugi's silencing of the historical struggles of Kenyan women obtains in his association of the female characters (or 'mothers') with the land throughout his fiction. The women in Ngugi's narratives are thus located outside of an historical present, inasmuch as they represent either an idyllic past (prior to the colonial incursion) or an harmonious future utopia. Further, Ngugi' s gender representations enable the political vision of his novels and contradict the socio-political convictions which he has elaborated outside of his fiction. By refusing to engage the vestiges of the Gikuyu patriarchy, Ngugi consolidates his privileged position within the Kenyan elite and proclaims to represent worker/peasant constituency transparently. Reading 'against the grain' of the later novels, I iocate in the prostitute or 'fallen woman' a figure which unsettles the economy of gender difference constituted by Ngugi's patriarchal master-narrative, and which therefore disrupts Ngugi' s androcentric historiography.

Abstract:
L'ensemble des ecrits de ngugi a, pour arriere-plan, l'histoire du kenya. Weep not, child et the river between traitent de la vie des kikuyu avant et apres 1870, date de l'implantation des missionnaires au kenya. C'est le conflit des cultures du a l'opposition radicale entre les systemes des valeurs occidental et indigene. La guerre mau-mau des annees 1950 est au centre de weep not, child. La spoliation des terres est la principale cause de ce conflit. Ngugi rejoint ainsi l'histoire. A partir de 1967, l'ecrivain consacre son oeuvre a l'examen de la gestion de l'independance du pays. A grain of wheat marque la fin de l'idealisme et de l'optimisme des premiers romans. Avec a grain of wheat, petals of blood et devil on the cross, ngugi commente l'actualite quotidienne. L'auteur decrit une communaute kenyane, ou s'affrontent les dirigeants, excessivement riches et les masses, de plus en plus pauvres. L'auteur predit une autre revolte du type mau-mau. Le marxisme guide, ici, son analyse. Cependant, ngugi n'est ni un historien, ni un simple chroniqueur. Ses oeuvres sont, avant tout, des oeuvres de fiction, ou les evenements reels voisinent avec des situations fictives. La facon dont ces evenements sont narres constitue l'aspect le plus frappant de son oeuvre. Ayant choisi un mode de narration oblique, les histoires s'interrompent continuellement et le roman devient, alors, une suite d'enchassements un ensemble d'entonnoirs contenus les uns dans les autres. Le stream of consciousness est l'autre point fort de cette narration. La symbolique participe egalement au developpement des themes. A tout cela, l'auteur a su fondre une temporalite qui s'articule autour de la trialectique passe-present-futur
History, especially kenyan history is the background of ngugi"s works of fiction. His first two novels the river between and weep not, child deal with the kikuyu way of life before and after 1870, when european first arrived in kenya. In the river between, ngugi is mainly concerned with the bump of civilisations that followed european settlement. Mau-mau war which took place in the 1950's is the main theme of weep not, child land expropriation is the cause ngugi gives to that conflicts. Ngugi's opinions fit with reality. Since 1967, ngugi is mostly concerned with the way kenya took after her uhuru. In his last three novels a grain of wheat, petals of blood and devil on the cross, the author depicts every day life in kenya and describes how problems affect people. To him. Kenyan society consists in two conflicting classes : those who lead the country and the masses. Leaders keep on getting richer and richer, while the masses go on becoming poorer and poorer. Indeed, says ngugi, 1952 revolution was a failure and another mau-mau-like war is unavoidable. In spite, of his concern with kenya's history and with every day life in kenya; ngugi remains a novelist and his work must be regarded as a work of fiction. He is not a historian. This is why in his novels historical facts and fictive situations are placed side by side. The way themes are related is one of the most striking points in ngugi's novels. Stories are often embedded and the novels become a series of "nests" containing one another. The stream of consciousness plays also an important part in his narration. So do symbols. Time is another concern for ngugi. For gim, past, present and future are linked

Abstract:
Abstract Oxymethylene ethers (OMEn, n = 1–5) are a promising class of synthetic fuels that have the potential to be used as additives or substitutes to diesel in compression ignition engines. A comprehensive understanding of their combustion properties is required for their safe and efficient utilization. In this study, the results of a combined experimental and modeling work on oxidation of OME2 are reported: (i) Ignition delay time measurements of stoichiometric OME2 / synthetic air mixtures diluted 1:5 with nitrogen using the shock tube method at pressures of 1, 4, and 16 bar, and (ii) laminar flame speeds of OME2 / air mixtures using the cone angle method at ambient and elevated pressures of 3 and 6 bar. The experimental data sets obtained have been used for validation of a detailed reaction mechanisms of OME2. The results of ignition delay times showed that OME2 exhibits a two-stage ignition in the lower temperature region. There is a good match of the measured data compared to the predicted ones using three reaction mechanisms from the literature. The mechanism from Cai et al. (2020) best predicted the temperature and pressure dependence of ignition delay times. For laminar flame speeds, the experimental data were well matched by the mechanism from Ren et al. (2019) at p = 1, 3, and 6 bar and for all equivalence ratios considered. From sensitivity analyses calculations, it was observed that chain reactions involving small radicals, i.e., H, O, OH, HO2, and CH3 control the oxidation of OME2. The comparison of the results of this work and our previous work (Ngugi et al. (2021)) on OME1 show that these two fuels have similar oxidation pathways. The results obtained in this work will contribute to a better understanding of the combustion of oxymethylene ethers, and thus, to the design and optimization of burners and engines as well.
