Approaches to Teaching the Works of Ng\u0169g\u0129 wa Thiong\u2019o<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n (Modern Language Association of America<\/span>, 2012)<\/span> Ng\u0169g\u0129 wa Thiong\u2019o is one of the most important and celebrated authors of postindependence Africa as well as a groundbreaking postcolonial theorist. His work, written first in English, then in G\u0129k\u0169y\u0169, engages with the transformations of his native Kenya after what is often termed the Mau Mau rebellion. It also gives voice to the struggles of all Africans against economic injustice and political oppression. His writing and activism have continued despite imprisonment, the threat of assassination, and exile.<\/p>\n Part 1 of this volume, \u201cMaterials,\u201d provides resources and background for the teaching of Ng\u0169g\u0129\u2019s novels, plays, memoirs, and criticism. The essays of part 2, \u201cApproaches,\u201d consider the influence of Frantz Fanon, Karl Marx, and Joseph Conrad on Ng\u0169g\u0129; how the role of women in his fiction is inflected by feminism; his interpretation and political use of African history; his experimentation with orality and allegory in narrative; and the different challenges of teaching Ng\u0169g\u0129 in classrooms in the United States, Europe, and Africa.<\/p>\n Oliver Lovesey<\/strong> is an associate professor of English at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus, Canada.
