Ngugi confronts the politics of language in African writing; the problem of linguistic imperialism and literature's ability to resist it; the difficult balance between orality, or "orature," and writing, or "literature"; the tension between national and world literature; and the role of the literary curriculum in both reaffirming and undermining the dominance of the Western canon. Throughout, he engages a range of philosophers and theorists writing on power and postcolonial creativity, including Hegel, Marx, Levi-Strauss, and Aime Cesaire. Yet his explorations remain grounded in his own experiences with literature (and orature) and reworks the difficult dialectics of theory into richly evocative prose. 000710533 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000710533 650_0 $$aLiterature$$xHistory and criticism$$xTheory, etc. 000710533 650_0 $$aKnowledge, Theory of. 000710533 650_0 $$aLiterature and globalization. 000710533 650_0 $$aAfrican literature$$xPolitical aspects. 000710533 650_0 $$aPostcolonialism in literature. 000710533 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aNgũgĩ wa Thiongʼo, 1938-$$tGlobalectics.$$dNew York : Columbia University Press, ©2012$$z9780231159500$$z9780231159517$$w(DLC) 2011025562$$w(OCoLC)730413701 000710533 830_0 $$aWellek Library lecture series at the University of California, Irvine. 000710533 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000710533 852__ $$bacq 000710533 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=909470$$zOnline Access 000710533 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:710533$$pGLOBAL_SET 000710533 980__ $$aEBOOK 000710533 980__ $$aBIB 000710533 982__ $$aEbook 000710533 983__ $$aOnline
