Amoko, Apollo Obonyo.

Postcolonialism in the wake of the Nairobi revolutionNgugi wa Thiong'o and the idea of African literature /[electronic resource] :Apollo Obonyo Amoko. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2010. - 1 online resource (xi, 204 p.)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: pitfalls of postcolonial intellectual consciousness: African literature in the wake of the Nairobi revolution -- Early fictions of school culture: The river between and Weep not, child -- Later fictions of school culture: Petals of blood and Devil on the cross -- The theaters of school culture: imaging the nation in Ngugi's plays -- Conclusion: between irony and tragedy: Cheikh Hamidou Kane's ambiguous adventure in Ambiguous adventure.

This work examines both the emergence of African literature and its institutionalization within nationalist African academies. Amoko analyzes the relationship between such institutions of literature and the processes of nationalist legitimization and between colonial and postcolonial school cultures and national cultures. Of particular interest is Ngugi wa Thiong'o, a paradigmatic postcolonial intellectual who was instrumental in shaping both the African literary tradition and its place in the university. Amoko revises the critical consensus for a new age, suggesting that Ngugi's conflicted work belongs to an exclusionary school culture.
