Commonwealth Writers Prize (Africa Short List) '... a masterly, artistic representation of the reality, contradictions, aspirations and problems of a post-colonial Kenyan community in Central Kenya.' Sunday Nation 'Mwangi... weaves a thread of humour through a fabric of tears. ... STRIVING FOR THE WIND (Baba Pesa) is an instructive exploration of the true nature of the human condition in rural Kenya and a fascinating appreciation of the foibles and vibrancy of the human soul.’ The Weekly Review |
| Baba Pesa by Meja Mwangi |
| Tyrannical landowner, Baba Pesa, owns nearly all the prime farmland around, yet he covets the meagre plots of his poverty-stricken neighbours who barely scratch out an existence. Not content to be the wealthiest man in the land, the self-titled Father of Money sets out to bully them into selling and moving. Sadly for him, Baba Pesa is up against his son, Juda, a college dropout and self-proclaimed philosopher, who has elected himself a champion of the people, and taken to lecturing his fellow villagers on the greater values in life. |
