This book explores Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s epistemic journey from a communalist, communist, nationalist, post-colonial theorist, and ultimately an established decolonial spokesperson of the Global South. This book offers a fresh perspective for scholars and readers interested in decolonial theory and African philosophy.
This book offers a critical analysis of Ngugi wa Thiong’o epistemic journey from a communalist, communist, nationalist, post-colonial theorist, and ultimately an established decolonial spokesperson of the Global South in the league of Paulo Freire, Edward Said, and Frantz Fanon. Through a reading of his novels and essays, The Decolonial Politics and Philosophy of Ngugi wa Thiong’o provides insight into wa Thiong’o’s decolonial thought that was established within his overarching philosophy and later became the organizing idea for wa Thiong’o’s political activism. Brian Sibanda presents wa Thiong’o as an example of a philosopher within the Global South who has unmasked coloniality, shining light where Eurocentrism has cast darkness. This book offers a fresh perspective for scholars and readers interested in decolonial theory and African philosophy.
