Mau Mau From Within (häftad, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
Barnett was first published by Monthly Review Press in 1966, as Mau Mau From Within: An analysis of Kenya''s Peasant Revolt. It was reprinted in 1970; it has remained out of print for many years. As the late Basil Davidson put it in his review of the first edition: ''Njama writes of the forest leaders'' efforts to overcome dissension, to evolve effective tactics, to keep discipline, mete out justice...
and to teach men how to survive in those merciless forests. His narrative is crowded with excitement. Those who know much of Africa and those who know little will alike find it compulsive reading. Some 10,000 Africans died fighting in those years . Here, in the harsh detail of everyday experience, are the reasons why.'' The book is an extraordinary story of courage, passion, heroism, combined with recounting of colonial terror, brutality and betrayal.
It is a story of how the very idea of being ''Kenyan'' was intimately linked to the idea of freedom, a connection that was destroyed not only by the firepower of the British, but also by those who collaborated and established themselves as the beneficiaries of neocolonial rule.
Disconnecting notions of freedom from identity left only a caricature that rapidly descended into tribalism and ethnicity. This momentous story of the struggle for freedom described here is relevant not only for a new generation of Kenyans but also for all those engaged in emancipatory struggles internationally.
For so long as the experiences arising from the struggles described in this book are perceived as merely ''African'' or ''Kenyan'', it is not possible to fully grasp the contributions they have made to the struggle for a universalist humanity. What is recounted in this publication is more than an ''analysis of a peasant revolt''.
It is above all a history of the Kenya Land and Freedom Army. As Ngugi wa Thiong''o points out in his Preface to this new edition, ''we don''t have to use the vocabulary of the colonial to describe our struggles.'' We were tempted to rename the book ''Kenya Land and Freedom Army from Within.'' But because the original title has wide recognition, and and as one of the characteristics of movements of the oppressed is to appropriate derogatory terms used by their oppressors and repurpose them as an expression of pride in their own experiences, this book retains the original title, but with a change in the subtitle as ''The Story of the Kenya Land and Freedom Army.''
