Adam Smith calling from the website Noble Prize telephone interview with Abdulrazak Gurnah...

Abdulrazak Gurnah: “As if there isn’t enough to go around”


“A kind of miserliness,” is how Abdulrazak Gurnah describes the attitude of some in Europe to refugees. After all, he says, “Europeans streaming out into the world is nothing new” and he suggests those seeking succour also be seen as “talented, energetic people, who have something to give.” In this brief conversation with Adam Smith, recorded just after he had heard the news, his surprise at receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature is evident. “I was just thinking ‘I wonder who’ll get it’”, says Gurnah: “I thought it was a prank, I really did.”

The Tanzanian writer who moved to Britain as a refugee in the 1960s was honored for his “uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism.”

The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded on Thursday to Abdulrazak Gurnah for “his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents.”

Gurnah was born in Zanzibar, which is now part of Tanzania, in 1948, but he currently lives in Britain. He left Zanzibar at age 18 as a refugee after a violent 1964 uprising in which soldiers overthrew the country’s government. He is the first African to win the award — considered the most prestigious in world literature — in more than a decade.
He is preceded by Wole Soyinka of Nigeria in 1986, Naguib Mahfouz of Egypt, who won in 1988; and the South African winners Nadine Gordimer in 1991 and John Maxwell Coetzee in 2003. The British-Zimbabwean novelist Doris Lessing won in 2007.
Gurnah’s 10 novels include “Memory of Departure,” “Pilgrims Way” and “Dottie,” which all deal with the immigrant experience in Britain; “Paradise,” shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1994, about a boy in an East African country scarred by colonialism; and “Admiring Silence,” about a young man who leaves Zanzibar for England, where he marries and becomes a teacher. His most recent work, “Afterlives,” explores the generational effects of German colonialism in Tanzania, and how it divided communities
Gurnah’s first language is Swahili, but he adopted English as his literary language, with his prose often inflected with traces of Swahili, Arabic and German.

Anders Olsson, the chair of the committee that awards the prize, said at the news conference on Thursday that Gurnah “is widely recognized as one of the world’s more pre-eminent post-colonial writers.” Gurnah “has consistently and with great compassion, penetrated the effects of colonialism in East Africa and its effects on the lives of uprooted and migrating individuals,” he added.
The characters in his novels, Olsson said, “find themselves in the gulf between cultures and continents, between the life left behind and the life to come, confronting racism and prejudice, but also compelling themselves to silence the truth or reinventing biography to avoid conflict with reality.”
In an interview with The New York Times on Thursday, Gurnah said he was making a cup of tea when he got the call from the Nobel committee early in the morning. “I’m still absorbing it,” he said

Yaani wewe! Hao wanasifia ccm kwa kejeli, nawe unakenua? Sasa hapo ccm ndio imesaidia nini? Ila hiyo riwaya yake inaongelea mambo ambayo ccm wasingefurahia. Ccm wanaendeleza sheria kandamizi za kikoloni, wanafungulia watu kesi za uchochezi, kama aliyofunguliwa Nyerere na wakoloni wa kiingereza. Huyu mwandishi anasifiwa kwamba ni "uncompromising" katika kuushambulia ukoloni.
 
Nitafurahi kama ataandika riwaya ambayo ni "uncompromising and penetrating" kuhusu Tanzania ya leo katika muktadha wa kisiasa. Nina uhakika uhakika ccm watanuna...
 
Hahaha , CCM oyeee
 

Umeumia eeeh🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sawa, tuangalie facts:
"Gurnah was born in Zanzibar, which is now part of Tanzania, in 1948, but he currently lives in Britain. He left Zanzibar at age 18 as a refugee after a violent 1964 uprising in which soldiers overthrew the country’s government."
Huyu aliondoka Zanzibar bila kufaidika na sera za elimu za ccm. Kimsingi, aliondoka kama MKIMBIZI, kwa hiyo hakuwa na mahusiano mazuri na serikali ya mapinduzivya Zanzibar. Amesoma Uingereza kama mnufaika wa sera za kimataifa kuhusu wakimbizi, na sera za Uingereza. Sasa hapo ccm inaingiaje???

Kuhusu mimi, nimefaidika na sera za TANU za elimu bure, enzi za Nyerere. CCM iliachana na sera hizo, kwa hiyo mimi sina la kuishukuru ccm, ila nailaumu kwa kuachana na Azimio la Arusha, kukumbatia mafisadi. CCM imepoteza mwelekeo na kufa kabisa kama chama cha siasa awamu ya Magufuli. Ccm ikawa NGO ya Magufuli, akifanya atakavyo. Sasa hivi ccm inawaogopa wapinzani wake kisiasa kiasi kwamba inahitaji polisi wawadhibiti.

Sasa hapo cha kuniumiza mimi nini? Ccm hii ya wanafiki? Wanaomsifia Magu akiwa madarakani, leo wamegawanyika?
 

Kwa hiyo kama wewe hujafaidika na unaichukia CCM ndio unaichukia Tanzania!? Na unataka na Abdulrazak aichukie!?

Mwenzio yeye anaipenda Tanzania na anajivunia kutambulika hivyo. Na tuzo aliyoipata ni moja ya faida kubwa kutokana na kutambulika kama mtanzania

Tujifunze kuona fursa na kupunguza lawama, tukifanikiwa hapo tunaweza pata mazuri toka hata kile wengine wanaokiona hakifai
 
Kwa ujumla CCM ya sasa hivi ni ya watu wapuuzi kabisa! Hata wajinga ni watu mashuhuri ndani ya CCM. Enzi za Nyerere, ilikuwa ni sehemu ya kutia adabu watu wapuuzi.

Indian Ocean Journeys | Professor Abdulrazak Gurnah | Think Kent


THINK KENT – INTERNATIONAL THINKERS | GLOBAL IMPACT Fra Mauro’s Mappa Mundi (1448-53) was one of the earliest maps to imagine the Indian Ocean as open waters rather than closed in by a southern land-mass. There are many remarkable matters concerning the map, but perhaps most interesting is its representation of the Indian Ocean as so thoroughly knowable and interlinked, as a world connected and enriched by travel and by stories.

Professor Abdulrazak Gurnah, acclaimed novelist and Professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent, considers the contrast between this way of thinking and the more familiar narrative of a mythologised terrain into which rapacious Europeans broke out of medieval wars towards the fulfilment of their capital-driven destiny. Rather than thinking of the Indian Ocean as another chapter in the grinding and inevitable consolidation of European power, this lecture re-imagines it as a cosmopolitan site which preceded and survived colonialism.
