I’ve seen Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s here and there. Is it fantasy or just “real-world” speculative fiction?
Real world speculative. This was written around the time his country of birth (Kenya) was transitioning from white officers to black officers. If you ever get a chance to watch his seminars, please do. He is big on language sovereignty. That the first thing an oppressor takes away from a people is their language.
YES! I’m very interested in this topic!
With the advent of the Internet, language sovereignty is more important.
And I believe that China was right on the money for prioritizing Internet sovereignty… which, I believe, is tied to language sovereignty!
