Wahu-Muchiri's book published by University of Michigan Press

Ng'ang'a Wahu-Muchiri's book, "Writing on the Soil: Land and Landscape in Literature from Eastern and Southern Africa," will be available from University of Michigan Press in May.

Wahu-Muchiri is an assistant professor in the Department of English whose interests include African and African Diaspora literature written in Swahili, English, and French. His book argues that representations of land and landscape perform significant metaphorical labor in African literatures, and this argument evolves across several geographical spaces.
