Résumé : |
Devil on the Cross is a 1980 novel by the Kenyan novelist, playwright, and activist Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, written originally in Gikuyu (under the title Caitaani mũtharaba-Inĩ) and translated into English by the author himself. The novel follows a long-suffering young Kenyan woman Jacinta Wariinga as she attends the “Devil’s Feast,” a celebration of Kenya’s exploitation by the forces of Western capitalism, attended by both Western businessmen and the Kenyan bourgeoisie who aid and abet them in their expropriation of Kenyan wealth. The novel blends allegory, dream-narrative, and a realist story of ordinary Kenyan life to comment on the involvement of Western businesses in Kenyan economic life. |
