James Baldwin said, "The place in which I'll fit will not exist until I make it."
Believing in this, I worked many years ago to establish a small, independent bookstore in Senegal.
Canvas Rebel recently connected with me, and I am sharing this conversation. I think I fit here in this space!!! https://tr.ee/2tBJXqxgDi

Decolonizing Language can be read as Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s clear diagnosis of the challenges mother tongues face in a world defined by linguistic hierarchies. On a more personal level, the book is Ngũgĩ’s last account of his displacement from his own native ground, an acknowledgement of the heavy burden that those who write and speak the language of the other have to carry. The arguments made in the book are exhilarating; reading them in the author’s absence is undeniably poignant.
