This proposed documentary project, “’52 Minds on Kenya’s Destiny: The People Speak,” is based upon, and is inspired by, my forthcoming book, “Mau Mau Crucible of War: Statehood, National Identity and Politics in Postcolonial Kenya,” that is currently under contract with Lexington Books. Mau Mau Crucible of War has been described by leading academics and acclaimed experts as an important and impressive 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 continues to resonate in Kenya today in the ongoing demand for a decent standard of living and social justice for all.
