Beskrivning
Decades on from independence the role of Mau Mau still excites argument and controversy, not least in Kenya itself.More than fifty years after the declaration of the state of emergency the significance of Mau Mau is still debated. This collection combines retrospective overviews with research to achieve a multi-layered analysis of this topic.According to Professor Terence Ranger, Emeritus Rhodes Prfessor of Race Relations, University of Oxford: 'In some ways the historiography of Mau Mau is a supreme example not only of ambiguity and complexity but also of redemption of a topic that was once thought incapable of rational analysis.'

A thousand words can never do justice to this tremendous collection, so I will state at the outset that it is a must read. This book is not just about Mau Mau, or even Kenya. By comparison and implication, it addresses the issues of modern African states that were forced to follow the incredibly inappropriate European nation-state model as their only option to join the global world... As a book addressing many of the complexities of the African state and ethnicity, this collection provides new approaches, skilful writing, imaginative topics, and in-depth analyses on new dimensions and complexities of decolonization and nationalism.
