UNTOLD STORIES OF PEASANT FARMWORKERS IN BRITISH COLONIAL KENYA

In the African country of Kenya, millions of people still bear the scars of the British invasion and occupation.

In THE COLONIZED And the Scramble for Africa, author Wanjirũ Warama gives a brief colonial history of Kenya starting in 1884 when European powers agreed to split Africa among themselves.

The author retraces her family's journey from the invasion up to 1956, the height of the Mau Mau war against the British.

To afford government mandatory taxes and raise his young family, the author's father turns his back on his Gȋkũyũ homeland and joins a caravan in search of work on British-owned farms in the Great Rift Valley.

This powerful and essential first book of THE COLONIZED series showcases the author's family, their neighbors, and community's lives as they steer through oppressive colonial laws.

A true story for all those who seek justice...
