The Language of Languages

With clear, conversational prose, this is the first book dedicated entirely to Ngugi wa Thiong'o's writings on translation. Through his many critically acclaimed novels, stories, essays, plays, and memoirs, Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong'o has been at the forefront of world literature for decades. He has also been, in his own words, 'a language warrior,' fighting for indigenous African languages to find their rightful place in the literary world.
