"Society is a market stall,
And men goods on display,
Where the label is more important than the labelled,
And the price more fascinating than the value."

From '#Introduction',
A poem by Richard Ntiru

Deeply saddened to learn of the death of Prof Ngûgî wa Thiong'o, literary giant. We read his many works on African identity, linguistic injustice, and intellectual freedom in impressive #Gîkûyû language. Powerful impact and legacy.

“If you know all the languages of the world but don’t know your mother tongue, that is enslavement,” Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o told me in 2015.

“Tribalism is a colonial invention,” he added
