Professor Francis Davis Imbuga (1947 – November 18, 2012) was a Kenyan playwright and literature scholar whose works, including ''Aminata'' and ''Betrayal in the City'', have become staples in the study of literature schools in Kenya. His works have consistently dealt with issues such as the clashes of modernity and tradition in the social organisation of African communities. His play ''Betrayal in the City'' was Kenya's entry to FESTAC.〔"Imbuga, Francis", in Martin Banham, Errol Hill & George Woodyard (eds), ''The Cambridge Guide to African & Caribbean Theatre'', Cambridge University Press, 1994, p. 48.〕 He also taught literature at Kenyatta University, holding the posts of Dean of the Literature Department, Dean of Arts and Director of Quality Assurance.〔(Philip Etyang, "Literary Icon Francis Imbuga passes on" ), ''Standard'' (Kenya), 19 November 2012.〕 Imbuga died on the night of Sunday 18 November 2012, after suffering a stroke in his house in Nairobi. ==Works== * ''The Fourth Trial'' (1972) * ''Kisses of Faho'' (1972) * ''The Married Bachelor'' (1973) * ''Betrayal in the City'' (1976) * ''Games of Silence'' (1977) * ''The Successor'' (1979) * ''Man of Kafira'' (1984) * ''Aminata'' (1988) * ''The Burning of the Rags'' (1989) * ''Shrine of Tears'' (1992) * ''Miracle of Remera'' (2004) * ''The Green Cross Of Kafira'' (2013) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francis D.
