Excerpt

The piece delves into themes of exile, belonging, westernization and the cultural losses. This is reconciled with Okot P'Bitek exile and poetry collection, Song of Lawino. It also reflects on the emotional and psychological impacts of such dislocations, touching on broader issues of identity and the consequences of exile and westernization.
