Abstract
African writing and criticism have been accused of ‘ecohesitation’. This essay uses Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s novel Wizard of the Crow (2006) to challenge this notion. Mourning the disappearance of the luxuriant forests in the fictive Republic of Aburiria, Ngugi's novel interrogates external as well as internal influences on African nature, offering a highly sophisticated reading of the postcolonial African state and reminding us that ecological consciousness has always been constitutive of African literature.
