description Omnipresent in Ngugi Wa Thion’go’s fictional work, the theme of joy stands as a meaning ful sign in the verbal and physical interactions of the characters of his novel The River Between. Our objective in this paper is to highlight the semiotic aspect of the narration of “Chrislike” and “customary” joys.

To achieve this objective, a study of the social practices of female genital mutilation and circumcision will underlie our analysis.
