Economic and Social Origins of Mau Mau, 1945-53 (Eastern African Studies)

'This is the first full-length study of Kenya's post-war crisis, the seed-bed of Mau Mau. The scholarship is encyclopaedic, the writing sharp and the analysis clear. What we have is a tragedy in the classic sense, with passionate visions of the future held by rulers and people locked in a conflict which could only be resolved by violence. - John Lonsdale, Fellow of Trinity College, CambridgeBR>North America: Ohio U Press; Kenya: EAEPThroup, David W. is the author of 'Economic and Social Origins of Mau Mau, 1945-53 (Eastern African Studies)', published 1987 under ISBN 9780852550243 and ISBN 0852550243.
