Full textThe 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

Full textThis 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.

Full textCommitment 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

Full textThrough 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

Full textHistory, 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
