The Trial of Dedan Kimathi,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Kenyanborn novelist and playwright Ngugi wa Thiongo and his collaborator, Micere Githae Mugo, have built a powerful and challenging play out of the circumstances surrounding the 1956 trial of Dedan Kimathi, the celebrated Kenyan hero who led the Mau Mau rebellion against the British colonial regime in Kenya and was eventually hanged. A highly controversial character, Kimathis life has been subject to intense propaganda by both the British government, who saw him as a vicious terrorist, and Kenyan nationalists, who viewed him as a man of great courage and commitment.Writing in the 1970s, the playwrights response to colonialist writings about the Mau Mau movement in The Trial of Dedan Kimathi is to sing the praises of the deeds of this hero of the resistance who refused to surrender to British imperialism. It is not a reproduction of the farcical "trial" at Nyeri. Rather, according to the preface, it is "an imaginative recreation and interpretation of the collective will of the Kenyan peasants and workers in their refusal to break under sixty years of colonial torture and ruthless oppression by the British ruling classes and their continued determination to resist exploitation,oppression and new forms of enslavement."Other titles by African writers from Waveland Press:Ba, So Long a Letter (ISBN 9781577668060)Beti, The Poor Christ of Bomba (ISBN 9781577664185)Emecheta, Kehinde (ISBN 9781577664192)Equiano, Equianos Travels (ISBN 9781577664871)Head, The Collector of Treasures and Other Botswana Village Tales (ISBN 9781478607601)Head, Maru (ISBN 9781478607618)Head, When Rain Clouds Gather (ISBN 9781478607595)La Guma, In the Fog of the Seasons End (ISBN 9781478600251)Marechera, The House of Hunger (ISBN 9781478604730)Mofolo, Chaka (ISBN 9781478607151)NgugiMugo, The Trial of Dedan Kimathi (ISBN 9781478611318)Nwapa, Efuru (ISBN 9781478611011)Oyono, Houseboy (ISBN 9781577669883)Oyono, The Old Man and the Medal (ISBN 9781478609582)pBitek, Song of Lawino & Song of Ocol (ISBN 9781478604723)Plaatje, Mhudi (ISBN 9781478609575)Rifaat, Distant Views of a Minaret and Other Short Stories (ISBN 9781478611288)
