Who owns language? In Decolonizing Language and Other Revolutionary Ideas, Ngugi wa Thiong'o presents a series of essays that build on his vast wealth of work on language and its constructive role in national culture, history, and identity. Here, in a book that is intricate, nuanced and accessible, he reaffirms the revolutionary power of African languages to fight back against both the psychic and material impacts of colonialism, past and present. With immense relevance to our present moment, Decolonizing Language and Other Revolutionary Ideas is both a brilliant distillation of the enduring themes of Ngugi's work, and a vital addition to the library of one of the world's greatest and most provocative living writers.
