AFRICAN STUDIES • POLITICAL SCIENCE
“Nicholas Githuku’s history confronts [Kenya s] violence and its political effects head on. He asks
new questions about Kenya’s history, quotes previously unexamined evidence, and offers his read-
ers important new insights. In all this he challenges his fellow Kenyans to join him in resurrecting
their local historiography. -JOHN LONSDALE, Trinity College, Cambridge
“To those who contend that the history of the colonial period is no longer of much consequence in
recent developments and trends in Kenya and other parts of Africa, moreover, this book provides a
detailed and powerful refutation.” ROBERT M. MAXON, West Virginia University
Mau Mau Crucible of War is a study of the social and cultural history of the mentalité of struggle
in Kenya, which reached a high water mark during the Mau Mau war of the 1950s, but which con-
tinues to resonate in Kenya today in the ongoing demand for a decent standard of living and social
justice for all. This work catalyzes intellectual debate in various disciplines regarding not just the
evolution of the Kenyan state, but also the state in Africa. It not only engages historians of colonial
and postcolonial economic and political history, but also sociologists, anthropologists, political
scientists, and those who study personality and social branches of psychology, postcolonialism
and postmodernity, social movements, armed conflict specialists, and conflict resolution analysts.
NICHOLAS KARIUKI GITHUKU is assistant professor of African history at York College, CUNY.
