Also, he writes his own English editions, meaning he's creating particular 'slams' at the West.

Devil on the Cross is essentially a restatement of Decolonising the Mind. I would argue he leaves us to decolonise our own mind, from trying to see the implications with language being a carrier of culture, and Devil on the Cross adds corporatism to the mix. On reading the book in English-a problem with Ngugi writing in Gikuyu, he's only addressing a small subset of Kenyans, who can read enough Gikuyu to get through his books.

is those of Europe. Even the educational system is still reflective of European colonisers.

Ngugi wa Thiong'o : On the Meeting of Culturesby wyomingvideos316 views
That is completely true. The term "neo-colonialism" is used throughout Ngugi's work, and I will employ this term from now on in my writing and discussion of Ngugi. The control of Africa in the neocolonial condition is indeed primarily economic--the creation of puppet regimes supportive of large multinational corporations that exploit African workers, leaving them with a salary often under $500 a year while plundering the African continent.

My dear friend, You make very insightful points.
Thank you for your analyses on Ngugi. You said at the beginning that you do not think that Africa is any longer under colonial rule. I would like to disagree. I am sure you have come across the term "neo-colonialism", and such Afrikan writers as Chinweizu, Shaabani Robert, etc, have cited that the mechanisms of colonialism have changed form, hence colonialism itself still exists! In Afrika, the language of commerce, education, etc...

Thank you for you comment. If I said that, I was indeed wrong. However, I actually always have agreed that the term postcolonial is completely a sham. I also greatly appreciate your insights. I will post more videos.
