Summary/Abstract: My paper excavates the politics of neocolonialism and Thiong’o critique of the same. Neocolonialism is the post-colonial perpetuation of colonial practices in different format. Ngugi’s texts like Matigari (1987), Petals of Blood (1986), A Grain of Wheat (1967) and Devil on the Cross (1980) encapsulate Ngugi’s resistance of neocolonialism under the fine unraveling of fiction.
