About Ngugi wa Thiong'o
About Decolonising the Mind
Decolonising the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature is Ngugi wa Thiong'o's most-influential work of literary criticism — published in 1986, the year he announced his decision to stop writing in English and begin writing exclusively in his native Gikuyu. The book argues forcefully that language is the carrier of culture, and that African writers writing in colonial languages (English, French, Portuguese) participate unwittingly in continuing the colonial project. Combining personal memoir, historical analysis, and literary critique, the book remains the foundational text for debates about African literature, language, and decolonization.
