Congratulations to Timothy Reiss of NYU Comparative Literature on the publication of his new edited volume Ngũgĩ In the American Imperium! This collection on Ngũgĩ’s work and the reach of his thinking chiefly within the US and areas of its closest hegemony joins artists, activists, critics and scholars (often the same) from the Caribbean through North America to Hawai‘i. All have been deeply touched by Ngũgĩ’s artistic, critical and political work, and testify to his being perhaps the “symbol” of radical political and artistic exchanges between Africa and America (and the West generally) and how that readily expands to global transcultural dialogue.
