http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/cm/africana/thiongo.htm

Extractions: One of Africa's most accomplished and prominent novelists was born in 1938 in an area known at the time as the "White Highlands," part of the British-ruled Kenya Colony. This context proves important in his early novels, which deal with the dilemmas of growing up in two worlds: as a Kikuyu/African and a Westerner/Christian. He was educated at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, and the University of Leeds. His early works, Weep Not Child The River Between , and A Grain of Wheat , depict the conflict of cultures and the role of Christianity, English education, and the increasingly oppressive treatment of the Kikuyu and other Africans, whose land had been taken by the colonists. Ngugi taught at Makerere University, University of Nairobi, and Northwestern University. While at the University of Nairobi, he chose to write in his native Kikuyu to help revitalize indigenous languages. His subsequent writing, e.g. Petals of Blood , is critical of the corrupt politicians and other personalities of post-independence Kenya. Such politically charged writing led to his 1977 arrest and detention. After his release he went into exile, and was never reinstated as professor at the University of Nairobi. Ngugi remains in self-imposed exile, and taught at Yale University for several years before joining the faculty of NYU in 1993. (RN) Weep Not Child . 1964. London: Heinemann.

As a central concept in my aesthetic or cultural vision, "struggle" has been developing, I think, starting from my essays on writers and politics. One can see this theme become more and more dominant in my cultural theory and aesthetic theory.

The only real gain. This was the thing for which poor men had fought and shouted. This was what it had come to:

This context proves important in his early novels, which deal with the dilemmas of growing up in two worlds: as a Kikuyu/African and a Westerner/Christian.

His early works, Weep Not Child, The River Between, and A Grain of Wheat, depict the conflict of cultures and the role of Christianity, English education, and the increasingly oppressive treatment of the Kikuyu and other Africans, whose land had been taken by the colonists. At the African Language Conference in Asmara (January 1, 2000) he stressed that African people need to reacquaint themselves with their places and languages of origin. The Kenyan novelist's decision to cease producing literary works in the English language as one of the inspirations of the conference. Biography Ngugi grew up during the 1950s' Mau Mau struggle for independence from British colonial rule, a major theme of his early work. His first work was a play, "TheBlack Hermit," written in 1962, which claimed to "speaks for a continent." It was followed by the novels such as The River Between (1965), about the divisive effects of the ban on female circumcision in the Christian community, A Grain of Wheat (1967), and Weep Not Child (1976), a simple and powerful tale of the

Extractions: The Politics of the Performance Space Department of Performance Studies, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University The course examines the performance space as a site of struggle of the various physical, social and psychic forces in society. The course singles out the colonial and postcolonial performance space - be it the street, the home, the shrine, the museum, the archeological site, the burial ground, the prison, the national theater,or even the national state - as a site of intense political theater. In particular, the course looks at the rise of popular theater movements in Africa in the light of the politics of performance space. The course is built around texts where performance and space are of particular significance in the development of the conflict

In your opinion, which repetition provides the most insight into thetext? 10/3 ngugi wa thiongo. Matigari and Decolonizing the Mind.
http://www.qc.edu/Writing/resources/faculty/digital/wcb/learnlnk/links.html

Extractions: Consider "The Dead" through Lengel's proposed analogue of British Liberal imperialist discourse and Victorian gendered discourse, and place the gender dynamics in the text within the political context of the times. How do political and gender politics figure in Gabriel's crisis in both similar and different ways? Choose a favorite Trinh Minh-ha quote (1 - 3 sentences). Present the quote and then interpret it. As you read Ngugi's Matigari , underline repeated words, phrases, sentences, concepts and/or images. On an index card or a similarly sized slip of paper, make a list of these repetitions. In your opinion, which repetition provides the most insight into the text? According to Lengel, the ultimate purpose of British Liberal imperialist discourse was to justify a continued, and indeed permanent, rule of Ireland. As explanation of the theoretical underpinnings of this discourse, Lengel sets up an analogue between Liberal imperialist ideology and Victorian notions of gendered identity and behavior. In several sentences, articulate your understanding of Lengel's analogue.

Papers On Africa This 6 page report discusses Nisa: The Life and Words of a !Kung Woman by Marjorie Shostak (1981). The story of Nisa herself reveals a world that still exists but that most Westerners have only experienced through National Geographic documentaries. During nearly two years Shostak spent interviewing !Kung women in the Dobe area of northwestern Botswana, in the northern Kalahari Desert, she did make connections, especially with 50-year-old Nisa. Bibliography lists only the primary source. A 16 page paper discussing the problems of maternal mortality and maternal health, which have reached critical mass in Ethiopia and remains problematic in other regions of the world as well. It is most common in those areas of intense poverty as evidenced by the areas of the world in which maternal mortality ratios are highest, but it also affects the profession in those areas of the world in which it is of far less consequence. The problem as it exists in the US and other developed nations is nearly negligible when considered in light of its magnitude in developing countries, particularly the poorest of those countries. The purpose here is to assess the problem of maternal mortality in Ethiopia and how it and the local health care profession can affect each other. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
