Extractions: Ngugi wa Thiongo and Ngugi "I Will Marry When I Want" "Kamiriithu was the answer to the question of the real substance of a national theatre. Theatre is not a building. People make theatre. Their life is the very stuff of drama. Indeed Kamiriithu reconnected itself to the national tradition of the empty space, of language, content and of form." Ngugi, "The Language of African Theatre." 1. Ngugi wa Thiongo 2. Origins. "Early one morning, a woman from Kamiriithu came to my house and she went straight to the point: 'We hear you have a lot of education and that you write books. Why don't you and others of your kind give some of that education to the village? We don't want the whole amount; just a little of it, and a little of your time.' There was a youth centre in the village, she went on, and it was falling apart. It needed group effort to bring it back to life. Would I be willing to help. I said I would think about it. In those days, I was chairman of the Literature Department at the University of Nairobi but I lived near Kamiriithu, Limuru. . . She came the second, the third and the fourth consecutive Sundays with the same request couched in virtually the same words. That is how I came to join others in what later was to be called Kamiriithu Community Education Centre." Ngugi, "The Language of African Theatre." 3. The Language Question.

Extractions: Ngugi, "Moving the Centre" 1. Ngugi wa Thiongo He is a Kikuyu and was born in 1938 in Limuru, Kenya, to one of his peasant father's wives. He attended primary school and high school in his home region and then went to Makerere University in Uganda where he graduated with honors. He was writing plays and fiction at the time. His first novel, Weep Not Child , was published in 1964, the same year he worked for several months at a Nairobi newspaper. He entered Leeds University in England later in 1964. Following his education there, he returned to Nairobi. In the next few years, he published two more novels, The River Between and A Grain of Wheat .. He became a lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Nairobi in 1968. The next year, he resigned in protest against government interference at the University. After that, he spent time at Northwestern University in the States and returned to Nairobi and a Lectureship, now in the Department of Literature, where he stayed until 1977the year "I Will Marry When I Want" was developed and performed. After the play was banned by the government in November, 1977, Ngugi was detained (arrested). He spent all of 1978 in prison. In 1981, he participated in the development of another play, "Mother Sing for Me," which led, after the government once again interfered, to his exile from Kenya. 2. Reading "Moving the Centre."

Extractions: The Third World and the West The World of the Indian Ocean; The Indian Ocean and the World History 76.06 Spring, 1998 Course Description This course examines how a rich- in both cultural and economic sense- world system arose in the Indian Ocean basin and its hinterlands, flourishing for seven centuries; how, beginning about 1500, European powers dominated many of the lands of the Indian Ocean, bringing the region into a new world system beginning about 1500; how Asians and Africans gained political independence, but still belong to a world order. But in the context of this "big history," I hope to present the experiences of men and women. As you can see, in all units students will look closely at the lives of individuals- as much as possible, in their own words. Requirements: Students must attend regularly and participate in discussions. Formal work consists of both group projects and individual work. As you see from glancing at the syllabus below, such work appears regularly throughout the seminar. Students will not take a mid-term examination; the final examination will be a take-home. The final examination counts for one-half of your grade. Group and individual work, as well as attendance, makes up the rest of the grade. Readings: I try to assign about 150 pages of reading weekly (except for the second week in February, when the reading is really heavy!!!- do your best). When we are particularly difficult sources, or primary sources, reading is less; when we're reading novels, I assign more pages.

Extractions: Book Review by Shiku This is a powerful book by Ngugi Wa Thiongo and it is set in pre-independence days in Kenya in the early 1950's - 60's. The place, a rural village in the heart of central Kenya, and through Ngugi's eyes, the landscape becomes alive with the sights, sounds and smells of the area. The book is centered around Mugo, a man affected by his childhood, the years in the State of Emergency, and his own demons within. Rejected his father and brought up by a disgruntled Aunt shaped Mugo into the man we see today. During the time of the State of Emergency, life was unkind, hard and brutal. The joys and tensions of this time in his life, reflected in other characters in the book leaves you feeling their hearts in a way that makes one wish that they too could have been there in that day and moment in time. Each character has something within them that we can all relate to. Being a woman, I related to Mumbi, proud, beautiful young woman with a mind of her own and a love for her brother Kihika, and family. Her strength is admirable, and can be described, to borrow a phrase from a movie, "The greatest honor a family could have was to have a daughter like you". Another character that gave me insight into the soul of a man was Gikonyo. The epitome of manhood- strong, decent, hardworking, industrious and you'll find he is a lot more than what you would initially expect. The State of Emergency was a time when brother turned against brother, families lived in fear of their brethren and the ruling colonialists. It was a time when anyone was arrested on suspicions of being a member of the MauMau. And the MauMau fought to keep the struggle alive, and killed anyone who got in the way of their great cause. Ngugi tried to show both sides of the coin, the fear felt by Africans and Europeans alike of the MauMau fighters; and the people behind the name (MauMau) who sacrificed their livelihoods, abandoned their loved ones, realized their civic duty to their country and to took up the struggle to take back what was theirs, their freedom.

We will interrogate the political and economic realities of modern day Africa through literature. For many African writers, the act of writing is a political act punishable by imprisonment and sometimes death. Many of the authors we will read have faced the threat of both at some point in their literary careers. With this in mind we will endeavor to appreciate African literature as a platform for political and social critique, as well as works of art that give us a perspective on the multiplicity of African lives and cultures.

Soyinka, Wole (Nigeria) Death and the King's Horseman Paperback Reissue edition (May 1991) Noonday Pr; ISBN: 0374522103 Wole Soyinka has been criticized in and outside of African for being "difficult." Death and the King's Horseman , a play about ritual suicide that is based on a historical event in Nigeria, is indeed challenging primarily because of the poetic use of Yoruba and Soyinka's tendency to use Pidgin English. Tony Obilade's essay on Pidgin English in Bernth Lindfors Research on Wole Soyinka and Kacke Gotrick's brilliant argument about the need to understanding Yoruba should benefit the student in better understanding the play. 2.

Paperback Reissued edition (September 1996) Seal Pr Feminist Pub; ISBN: 187806777X Tsitsi Dangarembga, a young female writer from Zimbabwe, has written a stimulating first novel. It details the colonial situation for a woman growing up in then Rhodesia but equally focuses on the limitations a patriarchal society can have for an African woman. Because she is so recent, all of the criticism on the novel will be in the form of articles.

Extractions: This 5 credit hour course explores the colonial and post-colonial history and culture of Kenya, within the larger framework of African history. It begins with the arrival of the British in the late 19th century, and examines the colonial patterns established by the white settlers before moving through the drive for independence in 1963 and then the nation-building effort in the decades that followed. The course focuses on the patterns of cultural interaction that have unfolded throughout the 20th century: the African response to the British, the British response to the Africans, and the implications of the British importation of Indian laborers. The course provides the background necessary to understand contemporary Kenyan culture, and the social, political and economic problems facing the country today. These problems all related to one another include tribalism, corruption, declining tourism, and faltering economic development. The course will draw on historical accounts, oral histories, and novels in an effort to understand the patterns that have defined 20th century Kenya. Students will also read local newspapers (particularly The Nation) and periodicals (e.g. Weekly Review) to follow contemporary issues.

Extractions: Additional readings, screenings, theatre performances COURSE DESCRIPTION The course begins with the proposition that the theatre of any era attempts to define reality and to affect audience perceptions about the human condition and the world we inhabit. Theatre in the postmodern era mirrors a complicated world: a world of globalization, human liberation movements, high technology, and mass media. Since World War Two, theatre artists have created a variety of responses to the world, affecting both the style and substance of theatrical performance. This course explores major currents of contemporary theatre by examining selected texts and performances of the last fifty years. We will study the contextual realities to which the performances are a response. We will also look at how theatre "takes on" issues and seeks to not only represent but also to change attitudes among audiences.
