The river between ngugi WA thiongo waiyaki role as a peacemaker?
I assume your question is if Waiyaki acts as a peacemaker in The River Between. Waiyaki is already seen to be a sort of peacemaker at the beginning of the book; he tries to separate Kinuthia and Kamau from fighting and eventually stops Kamau from further attacking Kinuthia. Later in the book, he rises in power and becomes the Teacher in the people's eyes. He still seeks to be the middle ground between two extreme sides; the traditonalists who wish to remain true and pure to the tribe's ways, and the converted Christians who live by the white men's ways. He sees the good of both sides but is unable to reconcile both sides, hence rendering him to be in between both, unable to choose one and turn his back on the other. Waiyaki tries to get both sides to unite but it is ultimately impossible and fails in the end, which is ambiguous.
