It was good to see The Graun making Ngugi wa Thiongo's fascinating essay on Decolonizing Language easily available again this week. I'm not terribly comfortable with the great writer's politics, but feel like a nobody next to him given the scale of his achievement and the depth of his engagement with the world. The essay makes me strangely uneasy, though perhaps not really 'strangely' if it's read as undermining my lifetime's work. But this is something worth worrying over.
