Critic William Boyd wrote that an author "skillfully hijacked" this language to write a novel in which Mene contemplates his war-torn village Dukana. The novel Sozaboy is written in a "rotten" form of this language, which was also used to narrate Mugo's leadership of a concentration camp hunger strike in the novel A Grain of Wheat. The essay collection Decolonizing the Mind discusses its author's (*) abandonment of this language. For describing Africa as a mere "foil to Europe," Chinua Achebe called the author of a novel in this language a "thoroughgoing racist" in his essay "An Image of Africa," and missionaries speaking it come to Umuofia during Okonkwo's exile in Things Fall Apart. For 10 points, name this language colonially imposed on Nigerian and Kenyan writers.
