    Image of rot in post-colonial discourse ; a study of Ayi Kwei Armah's the beautyful ones are not yet born and Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's devil on the cross
    (UB, Faculty of arts and social sciences, 2006) NINTUNZE, Alice; SUPERVISOR: Dr. Divine Che Neba
    This work examines the general rot in postcolonial Africa. It further explores the effects of colonization on Africans and denounces the changes which took place during and after colonization. Furthermore, this work intends to expose the greed of African leaders at the eve of independence. The work harbours on the premise that post-colonial discourse in Africa is mostly a discourse of decadence and filth. Written against the background of the postcolonial theoretical framework, this work settles on the note that the egocentric nature of post-independent African leader is main cause of the enumerous problems that characterize contemporary Africa.
