Discover how the world looked through the eyes of an African boy who grew up in the shadow of World War II, amidst the bloody conflict between the Mau Mau and the British.
Born in 1938 in rural Kenya, author Ngugi wa Thiong’o—now a celebrated novelist, playwright, and critic—deftly sketches a bygone era and the challenges and calamities of life under colonialism. Driven by his single-minded pursuit of an education, Thiong’o’s plainspoken yet remarkable story speaks to the human right to dream even in the worst of times.
