DECOLONISING THE MIND By Ngugi wa Thiong'o

Ngūgī describes this book as 'a summary of some of the issues in which I have passionately involved for the last twenty years of my practice in fiction, theatre, criticism and in teaching of literature...'

He starts with a statement: 'This book, Decolonising the Mind, is my farewell to English as a vehicle for any of my writing. From now on, it is Gīkūyū and Kiswahili all the way.'
