In his illuminating essays, Ngũgĩ explores the vital role of language in shaping a nation’s culture, history, and identity. Decolonising the Mind challenges the imperialist legacy that enforces the use of colonial languages, and argues for linguistic decolonization. Ngũgĩ, a revered voice in postcolonial studies, writes that literature must be considered within the context of social forces that demand attention and resolution. This edition, with its four essays – ‘The Language of African Literature’, ‘The Language of African Theatre’, ‘The Language of African Fiction’, and ‘The Quest for Relevance’ – provides an anti-imperialist perspective on Africa’s destiny and the crucial role of language in combatting imperialism and neo-colonialism.
