In this powerful novel Ngugi Wa Thiongo presents the conflicts that colonialism generated. The presence of the white man divided communities and eroded the traditions. In this Gigukuyu country, two villages in the ridges turned against each other as one embraced the Whiteman's religion and considers the cultural traditions satanic. Joshua led this Christian faction and insisted on a puritanical approach to the point that he denied two of his own daughters who associated with the tradition (Muthoni presenting herself for ritual circumcision and Nyambura falling in love with a non Christian, Waiykami.) Kaboni, a former ally of Joshua is the one who turns against Joshua's faith and leads the community to take oaths of purity to the traditions. Could they be a middle way? That is what Waiykami tries to forge, bringing unity between the two traditions. Would he succeed? Read this fascinating story to find out.
Although this is a book set in Africa with a clash between cultures that are specifically African, it is much more. It is a story of what happens when two opposing sides on any issue both claim moral certainty. It is a story of what happens when ideology takes precedence over both rational thought and love for one's neighbor.Set in Kenya at a time when white missionaries have obtained a strong foothold and tradional tribal beliefs are being seen a evil, many find themselves torn between the long cherished beliefs of ancestors and the new promises of a better life after death, but with little promise of a better life while living. The main character of Waiyaki finds himself torn between the oath he took in becoming a man in the tribe and the realization of a better life that the white man's education can bring his people now. His struggle to bring these ideals together prove that "no good turn ever goes unpunished."The role of female circumcision becomes the focus of the story but it is always in the background. This is the story of what happens when the fundamentals of a society shift. It is a story of sadness, respect, fear, and love. The author has taken an issue far removed from our culture today but has dealt with in in such a way that the reader can't help but think of some of the fundamental issues that divide our culture today and how both sides seem so sure they are right.
A re-edition of one of Ngugi's early works, A River Between explores the roots of many current Kenyan and African issues set in a past, quasi-legendary time. As in his novel, Matigari, the prose is clear and direct and some may call the characterization simple. Behind the simplicity is a well-thought out and provocative tale involving the conflict between tradition, so-called modernization, and the role education plays in said conflict.
"The River Between" is a novel written by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o based on the separation of two neighboring villages of Kenya that are torn apart by their differences of faith. It depicts and analyzes the conflict between missionaries seeking to spread their Christian faith and the indigenous African tribes. It also explores the consequences of living under colonialism and describes the African fight for independence from colonial powers. As Ngugi Wa Thiong'o grew up in this time and first hand witness it happened he used this book to get his story out. The Main character, Waiyaki, I believe Thiong'o used him to actually portray himself in a way and the situation he witness growing up. One thing that stood out to me was Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's writing style. He was very descriptive in his diction use and that caused me to become visually inclined in the book. He also used many analogies or symbolisms that correlated between certain conflicts that made you think about different situations in perspective throughout the novel. This novel I believed got Thiong'o's story out and it makes the reader aware of Africa's past and even current struggles.*Read this book for Dr. Rhonda M. Gonzales' HIS/AAS3603 class at the University of Texas At San Antonio*
Written during the colonial struggle in Kenya. The setting is really the Kikuyu ethnic background reeling from colonialism. Ngugi is a great writer, but it is just a good book
Ngugu wa Thiong'o's two ridges are rivals to the political and spiritual salvation of the Kikuyu. Waiyaki stands between the two worlds. Indeed, he sees that both the traditionalist's view and the tribe and the new Christian view each hold a modicum of merit. Waiyaki attempts to bridge these worlds to strengthen the tribe and connect with the good of the modern world. The man caught between two worlds is a common theme throughout literature and may be seen as trite. Yet, as usual trite themes are only bad when done by bad writers. Ngugu, however, is a fantastic writer. He is to the Kikuyu what Achebe is to the Ibo. This book is thoroughly enthralling; not only do I give this book 5 stars I would put it in must read.
Purchased as required reading for a class.
A wonderful novel. The story takes the reader inside the hidden world of a traditional African village and its fascinating people. Eye- and mind-opening. An insightful writer depicts this world with great sensitivity.
