Thinking activity on"A Grain of wheat".

Hello! Everyone warmly welcome to my blog.

This was a academic task which was given by Heena ma'am . It was about the African literature and  "A Grain of Wheat " it is a Novel written by Ngugi Wa Thiongo in 1987.Here I am going to write About "Robinson Cruso" Novel by Daniel Defoe.So here I am writing in context of Colonizer and Colonial aspect.




Moreover, let's first talk about Robinson Cruso Novel by Daniel Defoe. So, here we can directly see the Master-Slave relationship between Friday and Crusoe. There Crusoe belong to the Christian community and he was a white man who like to rule over Black or Backward people. But here first Crusoe saves Friday and kept him with his as a slave or as a servant. Crusoe use to taught him language and at first he gives a Christian name FRIDAY to his servant without asking him so it clarifies the superior power of master on slave. Yet Crusoe gives him all facilities, language,all basic need to live life,etc still Crusoe will put Friday as lower than him. Crusoe told him as her man but it never be so. So, we can say Friday as a colonizer and a slave and Crusoe as a Colonial powerful man .In Sem-3 of M.A we studied the Black skin ,White Mask by Frantz Fanon,which focuses on the Racism, Black and white people. After studying that book we can come to know about how black people have to suffer from very Ancient time to till current scenario. How they were ruled by White people.



In addition that,"A Grain of wheat" By Ngugi Wa Thiongo was also writes upon this kind of problems. He was himself African and Black people. So,he writes as a black people what he has to tolerate and we can also find Colonizer and Colonial man perspective. Here he writes about Kenya , how Britain rule over Kenya,it's condition. How Africa has to suffer at that time by White people? I want to say that even in 21st century,too developed or progressive world with technology and so many other aspects,still there were some people who want to rule over Black people which not going to be happened in this time yet it take place everywhere.So, to sum up we can say that we can think Robinson Cruso with A Grain of wheat by the context of Colonizer aspects.



Thank you🙂🤗
