Description
Explore the history, resistance and cultural heritage of the Agĩkũyũ people through Agĩkũyũ: 1890–1965 – Waiyaki, Kenyatta, Kĩmaathi by renowned Kenyan historian Maina wa Kĩnyattĩ.
Written in the Kikuyu language, this historical work documents the contribution of the Agĩkũyũ, Embu and Meru communities to Kenya’s struggle against colonial rule and the fight for national independence.
The book follows four historical periods, beginning with early resistance to British colonial occupation, through the development of African political organisations and cultural resistance, and culminating in the armed independence movement and the Mau Mau struggle.
It highlights important historical figures, including Waiyaki wa Hinga, Jomo Kenyatta and Field Marshal Dedan Kĩmaathi.
An invaluable addition to any collection of Kikuyu literature, Kenyan history and African liberation studies, this book helps preserve the stories of those who shaped Kenya’s journey to independence.
