MAKHAN
SINGH
Makhan
Singh is among a select pantheon of Indian settlers
who not only made Africa home but also became leading
anti-colonial freedom fighters. But what distinguished Singh
from many legendary leaders
-
including even the great
Mahatma Gandhi
-
was the conscious multiracialism of his
politics. He refused to accept a trade union movement
segregated by race and poisoned by the colonial apartheid that
classified black Africans and Asians in a humiliating
hierarchy. He demonstrated for the first time in colonized
Kenya that Asians and black Africans were bound in the same
fate and that their liberation was inextricably linked. In this
powerful example, he properly argued that both colonialism
and imperialism were the enemies of the people. That is why
Singh s enduring legacy to Kenya must continue to be the
basis for construction of a society free of exploitation and
racial animus.

This epic biography of Singh demonstrates how the struggle
for the rights of workers was planted in Kenya. In it,
Zarina
Patel,
an indefatigable Kenyan freedom fighter herself, has
comprehensively analyzed how Singh created the building
blocks and pillars of the trade union movement in Kenya. The
life of Makhan Singh is an object lesson on how class
formation developed in Kenya. It is a powerful example of
worker solidarity based on both racial and class-consciousness.
This biography challenges the trade unions in Kenya today. It
reminds workers that they must control and be central to the
trade union movement if it is to succeed. This wonderful
account also reminds us why it is critically important for
Asians and Africans to tell their own stories.
