A conversation with Dr. Mũkoma wa Ngũgĩ, Associate Professor of Literatures in English at Cornell University and the author of The Rise of the African Novel: Politics of Language, Identity and Ownership (2018), and the novels: Nairobi Heat (2009), Unbury Our Dead with Song (2020), Black Star Nairobi (2013), Mrs. Shaw: A Novel (2015) as well as two poetry books: Hurling words at consciousness (2006) and Logotherapy and Hurling Words at Consciousness (2016).
This conversation will be moderated by Artistic Associate Mũkonzi Mũsyoki. Mũkoma’s work continues to champion the conversation between Africa and the diaspora. This dialogue features the elements that promote and enrich this relationship. We look at language and storytelling and discuss initiatives that nurture African agency.
