An examination of language, sexuality and capitalism questions in the Anthropocene through the lens of revolutionary consciousness in the life and literary works of Frantz Fanon.

A rejoinder to the African question in Karl Marx’s doctoral dissertation, and a reflection on universal Egyptology and Africa’s intellectual future.

Opicho challenges Onyango-Obbo on the source of Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s revolutionary awakening.

Opicho draws on the arrest of George Natembeya and uses Ngugi’s concept -globalectics - to call global attention to the injustice festering in the democratic dictatorships of the East African region.
