Pio Zirimu
Pio Zirimu was a Ugandan linguist, scholar and literary theorist. He is credited with coining the word "orature" as an alternative to the self contadictory term, "oral literature" 〔("Notes towards a Performance Theory of Orature" ) ohio.edu,3 September 2007. Retrieved May 31, 2014.〕 used to refer to the non written expressive African traditions. Zirimu was also central in reforming the literature syllabus at Makerere university to focus on African literature and culture instead of the English canon.〔Simon Gikwandi, Evan Mwangi (2013). "The Columbian guide to East African literature in English since 1945", p.177. Oxford university press. ISBN 978-0231125208.〕 ==Early life and Education== Zirumu was born in Buganda. He attended high school at King's College Budo. He attended Makerere University college, and the university of leeds, where he was a contemporary of Ngugi wa Thiong'o. While at Makerere, he met Ugandan poet and dramatist Elvania Namukwaya Zirimu. They were to marry a few years later. The marriage produced a daughter. He later taught at the Institute of Languages Studies at Makerere where he was involved in the formulation of standards for judging emergent African lietrature in the 1960s.〔
