| description | Usually, the most common approach towards the literatures of former European colonies has been that of post-colonialism. This essay seeks to perform an aesthetic assessment capable of surmounting the limitations that postcolonial perspectives often display when dealing with African literature. By focusing on Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s “The Black Bird”, the aim is to think over the various mechanisms of aesthetic and ideological influences that converge in this short-story and that confer on it a legitimate literary strength of its own. Thus, more than just appraising the text as a witness of postcolonial anxieties, the idea is to give it its proper value as a literary product, especially by resorting to the theory of influence. |

This essay seeks to perform an aesthetic assessment capable of surmounting the limitations that postcolonial perspectives often display when dealing with African literature. By focusing on Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s “The Black Bird”, the aim is to think over the various mechanisms of aesthetic and ideological influences that converge in this short-story and that confer on it a legitimate literary strength of its own.

El acercamiento acostumbrado en torno de las manifestaciones literarias de países que fueron antes colonias europeas ha sido, por lo general, el del poscolonialismo. Este artículo invita a realizar una valoración estética que permita solventar las limitaciones que las perspectivas poscoloniales suelen ensayar acerca de la literatura africana. Centrándose en “The Black Bird” de Ngugi wa Thiong'o, intenta ponderar sobre los diversos mecanismos de influencias estéticas e ideológicas que se dan cita para imprimir al cuento de verdadera fuerza literaria. Así, más que valorar al texto como un mero testimonio de conflictos coloniales, pretende otorgarle su justo valor como producción literaria, en particular apoyándose en la teoría de la influencia.
