Wole Soyinka (except from a speech in June at the New York Public Library) linking Harlem's Father Divine, the Yoruba diety Shango, Mohamed Bouazizi, the Tunisian street vender who set himself on fire thus triggering a people's revolution earlier this year, the now-deposed Laurent Gbagbo, and finally, Robert Mugabe, who is "still riding it out on his own wall, blotting out the horizon for others with his grossly inflated ego."
