Socio-Political Reflections and Satirical Perspectives in Ngugi Wa Thiong’o’s Petals of Blood and Wizard of The Crow
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 07
Abstract
This study examines the socio-political reflections and satirical perspectives in Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s novels Petals of Blood and Wizard of the Crow. Utilizing a postcolonial lens, the analysis delves into how these works critique colonial legacies, challenge power structures, and advocate for language decolonization in African societies. The novels also portray resistance movements and struggles for liberation, highlighting the courage of those confronting political corruption and oppression. Through satire, Ngugi cleverly critiques societal contradictions and hypocrisies, offering a sharp social commentary on power dynamics and the clash of cultures in a changing world. These novels inspire contemplation of colonial influences, advocate for linguistic empowerment, and encourage envisioning a decolonized future.
