Aimed at students of African politics and political sociologists
interested in rural revolution and revolt. Although Mau Mau was
militarily crushed in the mid-fifties, the struggle for land rights
was only contained in Kenya's post-independence era. Kikuyu
squatters on European estates who formed the backbone of this
movement are the main subject of this book. Furedi breaks new
ground in following the story of the participants of the rural
movement during the decade after the defeat of Mau Mau. New
archival sources and interviews provide exciting material on the
mechanics of decolonisation and on the containment of rural
radicalism in Kenya. North America: Ohio U Press; Kenya: EAEP
