Sinossi
I quattro testi di Ngugi Wa Thiong'o che compongono "Decolonizzare la mente", sono la summa di un pensiero che si è andato formando con anni di studio e con dolorose esperienze vissute in prima persona; in particolare la scelta di scrivere una pièce di critica al potere nella sua lingua madre, il gikuyu, in modo da poter essere compreso da ogni strato di pubblico, gli costò nel 1978 un anno di detenzione. Fu in quei mesi che l'autore maturò la convinzione che "l'arma più grande scatenata ogni giorno dall'imperialismo contro la sfida collettiva degli oppressi è la bomba culturale, una bomba che annulla la fiducia di un popolo nel proprio nome, nella propria lingua, nelle proprie capacità e in definitiva in se stesso". In tal senso, questo volume anche oggi può dire molto ai lettori occidentali che vogliano osservare criticamente i fenomeni connessi alla globalizzazione e gli effetti di una politica culturale omologante.

আফ্রিকার দেশগুলোয় উপনিবেশের প্রভাব আমার মনে হয় ভারতীয় উপমহাদেশের চেয়ে একেবারেই ভিন্ন রকম ছিল। এর কারণ হতে পারে ভারতকে একেবারে একশ ভাগ বন্য জংলি বলে আখ্যা দিতে পারেনাই সাহেবরা। ভারতকে অনেকটা বাঁচিয়ে দিয়েছিল এর প্রাচীন সভ্যতা, সাহিত্য, সংস্কৃতি, দর্শন। তারা দুই হাতে নিয়েছে আমাদের থেকে। শুধু সম্ Leggi tutto
