Sorrow, Struggle and the search for a new Kenyan dawn

The rain poured heavily over Mathare slums. Each drop an addition to the despair, as if the sky shared the sadness of the people below. Nyarari stood at the heart of the Wangari Maathai Community Park with clenched fists.

STATEMENT BY WOMEN COLLECTIVE KENYA AGAINST THE INSENSITIVE COMMENTS ON COMMUNITIES LIVING IN INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS

We reject the narrative that blames the most marginalized communities in Nairobi, especially those living in informal settlements, for the pollution of the Nairobi River. This narrative not only shifts attention away from the need for the government to provide equal access to a clean environment

The Writer in a Neocolonial State

This essay by Ngugi wa Thiong’o was first delivered as an address to the African Literature Association Conference at Northwestern University, 1985. It was published jointly by Vita Books and Africa World Press in 1986, and has been re-published by Mwamko (in 2024) with permission from Ngugi wa Thiong’o.

What we Stand For

Intellectual restoration

African people, like all other peoples, are bearers of civilizational seeds that have blossomed throughout history. Finding its first known fruition in ancient Egypt, there existed a consistent building and renewing of civilizations until the advent of the colonial state.

Economic self-determination

Our people live in saddening conditions marked by gut-wrenching poverty, are deprived of basic needs, their rights to self-determination, barred from their lands, and are everyday humiliated and subjugated in a world completely laid to waste by capitalism.

Ecological sovereignty

Today, large multinational corporations are waging war on the sovereignty of land, seed and food systems on the African continent and beyond. As the African savannah disappears to be replaced by an ever encroaching desert and concrete, our seeds are concurrently being patented and small farm holdings criminalized.
