Resumen o Introducción

This essay deals with language as an Anti-Colonial tool in Chinua Achebe's "English and the African Writer" and Ngugi Wa Thiogo‘s "The Language of African Literature"

The most powerful weapon through which the occident (the coloniser) grabs the orient (the colonised) is the language. Language is not just a means of communication, but also the spirit and a carrier of cultural experience and cosmology of the people.

It is an age-long tradition and one of the ways of the expansionists in which they impose their language as well as other cultural elements on the conquered people. However, the nexus between language and identity construction is undeniable.
