National Patriotic Culture (Paperback)

The book critically analyses through comparison and contrast the depiction and significance of national patriotic culture in Ngugi wa Thiong'o 's A Grain Of Wheat(1963), Stanley Nyamfukudza 's The Non-Believer's Journey(1980) and Solomon Mutswairo's Feso(1956). The three writers' depiction of national patriotic culture is examined in the context of Africa's struggles for political and economic emancipation both past and present. It examines whether or not the writers' portrayal and understanding of national patriotic culture helps in Africa's economic and political liberation. In that regard, the book assesses the extent to which the writers' vision on national patriotic culture is progressive and liberatory.
