Ngugi wa Thiong'o
"Decolonizing the Mind - Language a Way of Understanding Ourselves"
October 2, 2007
Sponsored by Ruth S. Ammon School of Education, the Center for African American and Ethnic Studies, and the Finkelstein Memorial
Ngugi wa Thiong'o is one of the most widely read African writers of our time. He is among a few authors who have written successfully in more than one language. He began his career writing in English, but eventually turned to writing in his native language, Gikuyu. During the lecture, Ngugi will discuss his book, "Decolonising the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature," in which he explores language as a critical form of self-identity and how language colonization impacts society.
