By A Customer
This review is from: Penpoints, Gunpoints, and Dreams: Towards a Critical Theory of the Arts and the State in Africa (Clarendon Lectures in English Literature) (Hardcover)
Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's book is an incredible achievement. It is divided into four lectures and each one contains a lot of information as well as well formed, well supported philosophies. It is not detached in its philosophy, however, but right down to earth. He makes sure to practically apply his ideas to the modern African continent. His philiosophies are strong, moving, and somehow easy to understand in all their complexity. I picked the book up and was on page 60 before I knew what had happened. I recommend this book with all my heart to anyone who has a passion for any form of art or for the humanity so often suppressed by the state, for anyone interested in language, literature, political art, or modern applications of ancient Greek philosophy. This is an incredible book.
