| dc.description | Ngugi wa Thiong'o started out as a cultural-cum-political
nationalist as well as a deeply religious novelist. At the time he wrote
his early novels, his loyalties were divided between his reverence for
Christian religion and his desire to defend aspects of the Gikuyu cultural
tradition and politics. For instance, in his portrayal of Christianity in
The River Between (1965) Ngugi was both encouraged to see
religion as positive, because it taught reconciliation and unity- his two
main concerns in the story, and also as negative, because its champions
attempted to wipe out aspects of the Gilcuyu cultural tradition which he
cherished as a cultural nationalist. | en_US |
