Colonial Violence In Kateb Yacine's Nedjma (1956) And Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's A Grain Of Wheat (1967)



Authors : Naar/gada Nadia .

Abstract

The present paper is concerned with a comparative analysis of Kateb Yacine’s Nedjma (1956) and Ngugi Wa Thiong’O’s third novel, A Grain of Wheat (1967) within the context in which they were produced. The two novels were written during the turbulent period of colonial transformation in Africa in the 1950s and the 1960s. The study explores how the two narratives reflect in many ways the colonial violence, which happened in a time when many African movements, fighting for independence, emerged in some African colonies

Keywords
