Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Today's Quote

Maybe they pulled an Ali Mazrui 

in the complex world of East African 

Politics. I can't say that they were funded

by Qatar, since Nobel has a lot of its

own  weaponized money . And I can't 

conclude that he is a sophisticated 

Naipaul because I haven't read his work

as yet. So your guess is better than mine, Ken.

Please be cautious: **External Email**

i agree he is certainly not obscure, but i wouldn't have thought major. i fear asking what drives the stockholm syndrome... maybe he is really great. i will certainly read more to find out,

and like all of us wonder what drove them to choose him over the most obvious of choices, ngugi.

Abdulrasak Gurnah, the 2021 Nobel Prize In Literature winner is not obscure, he is known in the circles that matter in his chosen endeavour.
