Author Biography

Micere Mugo, African American Studies Department, Syracuse University, USA

Micere Githae Mugo (née Madeleine Micere Githae en 1942) est une dramaturge, autrice, activiste, instructrice et poète kenyane. Elle enseigne la littérature au département d'études afro-américaines à l'université de Syracuse. En 1982, elle est condamnée à s'exiler du Kenya en raison de son militantisme sous la dictature de Daniel Arap Moi, et déménage au Zimbabwe puis aux États-Unis. Elle enseigne l'orature, la littérature et l'écriture créative. Elle a publié six livres, une pièce de théâtre co-écrite avec Ngugi wa Thiong'o et trois monographies. Elle édite des journaux et participe à la création du programme scolaire du Zimbabwe. L'East African Standard la mentionne dans sa liste des 100 personnes les plus influentes du Kenya en 2002.
