Description
The book breaks new ground in following the story of the participants of the rural movement throughout the decade after the defeat of the Mau Mau. New archival sources and interviews provide exciting material at the mechanics of the sociology of decolonization and at the containment of rural radicalism in Kenya. For the first time an account of decolonization in Kenya in response to primary sources is offered to the reader.
The Mau Mau was once militarily crushed in the mid-fifties, but the struggle for land rights was once only contained in the post independence era of Kenya. Kikuyu squatters on European estates who formed the backbone of this movement are the main subject of this book.
Furedi’s account considers how the radicalization of rural protest in the so-referred to as White Highlands led to the Mau Mau explosion and how it was once sustained throughout the subsequent fifteen years.
The book establishes a focal point for discussion of these critical events through exploring the relationship between rural resistance and decolonization. The writer argues that the main issue facing post-colonial policies in Kenya was once to get to the bottom of the problems raised by the Mau Mau rebellion.
Written from an interdisciplinary point of view, with a special emphasis on historical and political sociology, this book is aimed at students of African politics and political sociologists interested in rural revolution and rebellion.
