Ngugi wa Thiong’o, the Kenyan author, wrote Devil on the Cross during his detention for ten months by what he thought of as the neocolonial regime. The novel is about a struggling Kenyan woman, Wariinga, whose revolutionary spirit gets shaped through her tragic life journey. This research paper aims to prove that Ngugi’s detention experience, as depicted in Devil on the Cross ,taught him that passive resistance including his literary works and other peaceful means will not free Kenya from neocolonialism. It will only serve as a means to wake up the revolutionary spirit in the Kenyan people to start an armed resistance. Ngugi’s didactic plan in Devil ,as will be illustrated, aims to influence the reader’s mind and transform it from unconsciousness to awareness, from negativism to positivism, and from passive resistance to armed resistance. A special focus is set on how Ngugi’s Devil embodies and utilizes several postcolonial concepts and tools in purpose of increasing awareness among the mass, revealing the true face of neocolonialism, and recalling some glorious moments of the national resistance history. |
