zlib_text: Decolonising the Mind
  Joan Riley on the BBC World Service 
  Decolonising the Mind is powerfully written and full of the 
  clarity and honesty we have come to expect from the man 
  who is probably the most important figure in contemporary 
  African literature. 
  Carl Wood in The Christian Science Monitor 
  Cut the Kenyan novelist Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and he bleeds 
  politics. He is passionately committed to the egalitarian 
  ideals of the 1950s Kenyan revolution against Great Britain -
  a dedication well illustrated in this book of essays on cultural 
  politics. Ngugi's revolutionary fervor has not diluted his 
  literary achievement ... The main target of his political ire, 
  here as always, is corruption in Africa among Western­
  influenced rulers and business leaders. 
  Anne Walmsley in The Guardian 
  ... many of the ideas are familiar from Ngugi 's earlier critical 
  books, and earlier lectures, elsewhere. But the material here 
  has a new context, and the ideas a new focus ...
