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.
