Résumé,
This work examines the question of land alienation and colonial violence in Ngugi wa Thiong'o's Weep not Child and A Grain of Wheat. It examines the importance of the land to the kikuyus of Kenya. It also examines the ensuing conflict between the kikuyus and the white colonialists who are said to have confiscated the land from the indigenes.
It reveals the expectations of Kenyans after gaining their freedom or independence. It equally reveals the colonial violence perpetrated to kenyans as well as to the white settlers. It is written against the background of the Marxist and New Historicist theories which show us that in a given society the oppressed will overturn the oppressors. This study is written against the hypothetical thrust that that the alienation of the indigenous people from their land leads to violence in NUGI WA thiong'o's Weep not Child and A Grain of wheat.
