In Dreams in a Time of War, Ngugi delicately and movingly narrates the story of his childhood, capturing the landscape, the people, and their culture; the social and political changes and problems of life under colonialism and war; and the troubled relationship between an emerging Christianised middle class and the rural poor. He also shows how the Mau Mau armed struggle for Kenya’s independence against the British informed not only his own life but also the lives of those closest to him. Dreams in a Time of War is an inspirational piece of work that encourages the reader to dream even in the worst of times.Auteur(s): Thiong’O, Ngøgð Wa
