Abstract
Matigari, an influential work, by Ngugi wa Thiong’o was brought into the public attention in 1986 which reveals resistance to the dominating system of post-colonialism and neocolonialism. Pursuing Kenyan independence, the novel which is set in Kenya discloses the story of Matigari Ma Njiruungi, who symbolizes the fight against injustice and inequality. Ngugi assesses the fiascos of the governments of post-colonialism to address a corrupt system of inequality by assimilating mythological themes, social criticism and cultural symbols. This novel thoroughly portrays resistance as both an individual and communal struggle firmly established in cultural traditions. The novel examines the persisting existence of oppressive colonial system in distinct ways and points out the critical role of unity in overwhelming the oppressive system. This analysis of the novel concentrates upon symbols, communal unity and language to demonstrate resistance, offering a transparent observation of Ngugi’s assessment of neocolonialism and struggle for genuine freedom.
