Moving the Centre (Studies in African Literature)

Over the past four hundred years, world cultures have been dominated by a handful of Western nations. The West came to see itself as the center of the universe, and cultural power, as much as political and economic power, was controlled at the center. In this collection of essays and lectures Ngugi is concerned with "moving the center" in two sensesbetween nation and within nationsin order to free world cultures from the restrictive walls of nationalism, class, race, and gender.Ngugi Wa Thiong'O is the author of 'Moving the Centre (Studies in African Literature)', published 1993 under ISBN 9780435080792 and ISBN 0435080792.
