From Mau Mau to ruto must go: A Scrapbook of Essays on Kenya's Struggle Against Imperialism, (Paperback)

<p>June 2024 gave rise to the RutoMustGo and the Gen Z resistance on the streets. This book looks at important developments in Kenya leading up to this protest, and the ongoing struggle that is still current. It is a timely collection of essays that not only record but analyse the current political situation in Kenya. Contributors include those active on the streets and the struggle that has taken social media by storm - records not likely to be found in many public libraries or research centres in Kenya. This is history in the making: a unique record of current events, which has relevance not only in Kenya, but Africa as a</p><p>whole and in the Global South where resistance to capitalism and imperialism is intense.</p><p>In From Mau Mau to RutoMustGo, we have a revolutionary book that will help radical parties and social movements in Kenya and beyond to continue to think through the practice of our struggles for a planet we wish to see. - Willy Mutunga</p><p>Democracy appears to be retreating in Kenya, drifting further into crisis with each wave of political violence - abductions, unlawful arrests, and targeted killings. The authoritative nature of the state and shrinking of civic space are alarming and deeply disturbing. This collection of reclaimed, radical historical narratives and strategic lessons offer to organisers and students of liberation, helpful tools for creatively and organically arranging collective resistance and imagining new futures. - Zach Patterson</p>
