We spend an hour speaking with Kenyan author Ngugi wa Thiong'o about
the first volume of his memoirs, Dreams in a Time of War." With all the humor, insight, power and poetry of his life's work, Ngugi takes us on an incredible journey through colonial Kenya and the beginnings of the Mau Mau anti-colonial resistance movement in Kenya. A rare and moving insight into all that went into shaping one of the most beloved progressive writers in the world today, a testament to the power of storytelling and dreams in human life and the striving to birth a new and better world.
A brief musical tribute to the great jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln who
died on August 14th.
