This article problematizes the use of aspects of Kiswahili language in selected works of MG Vassanji, the most canonized East African writer of South Asian ancestry. The article begins by acknowledging two critical points regarding the use of Kiswahili in literatures by South Asian writers in the region: first, the place of the language in the region’s post-independence cultural politics of identities and, second, the practical question of audiences that a language enables or limits. The article suggests that a balance between these considerations explains why, for instance, while some South Asian writers in the region at some point wrote full length works in Kiswahili, this ‘experiment’ would later give way the English language as the predominant language of literary expression. At the same time, although the literary oeuvre of Vassanji and South Asian writers in the region has attracted varying critical responses from the region and beyond, such criticism has tended to focus on ‘bigger’ postcolonial concerns with the politics of racial affirmation and experiences of marginality. But the role of Kiswahili and its cultures in constituting these concerns remain either presumed or overlooked. Yet, the sense of marginality and otherness - with their socio-economic implications - that Vassanji recreates and critics theorise could have been impossible but for the predominant use of Kiswahili language in East Africa’s socio-political discourses. For instance, it was through Kiswahili language and its attendant cultures that post-independence attempts at rallying pan-Africanist based patriotism were inaugurated by the likes of Julius Nyerere and Jomo Kenyatta, the founding presidents of Tanzania and Kenya, respectively. Against this background, the current article interrogates how Vassanji navigates the possibilities and limits of Kiswahili language and the cultures it engenders to interpret South Asian worlds in East Africa.
