“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.”
Dom Helder Camara, Dom Helder Camara: Essential Writings

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o
“Prescription of the correct cure is dependent on a rigorous analysis of the reality.”
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Decolonising the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o
“The present predicaments of Africa are often not a matter of personal choice: they arise from a historical situation. Their solutions are not so much a matter of personal decision as that of a fundamental social transformation of the structures of our societies starting with a real break with imperialism and its internal ruling allies. Imperialism and its comprador alliances in Africa can never develop the continent.”
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Decolonising the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature
