DESCRIPTION:
Ngugi is one of Africa's most famous writers. His writings have always been politically engaged, arguing a case for the poor and oppressed, not just in Africa but in the entire Third World. The conversations recorded here, spanning over 40 years, reflect his interest in exploring events in Kenya's colonial past that had such a profound impact on his own people, the Kikuyu, and ultimately on his own life. Ngugi's words lead to a deeper understanding of colonial and postcolonial history.
