Fighting Neocolonialism: A Case Study of the Selected Novels of Ngugi Wa Thiong’o

Sourav Kumar Nag

Abstract


My paper excavates the politics of neocolonialism and Thiong'o critique of the same. Neocolonialism is the post-colonial perpetuation of colonial practices in different format. Ngugi's texts like Matigari (1987), Petals of Blood (1986), A Grain of Wheat (1967) and Devil on the Cross (1980) encapsulate Ngugi's resistance of neocolonialism under the fine unraveling of fiction.
