TABAN LO LIYONG



Taban lo Liyong, born in Uganda, has made his name over the decades as a "literary iconoclast". He has steadfastly advocated the primacy of African languages and oral traditions over the western canon. This great academic has lectured in many universities around the world.
He has published striking fiction and poetry, yet it is his pungent literary essays that continue to mark him out. A rather prolific author, his published books include – The Last Word (1969), Meditations in Limbo (1970), Franz Fanon’s Uneven Ribs (1971), Another Nigger Dead (1972), Ballads of Underdevelopment (1976), and Another Last Word (1990)
