A review by vipula
The Trial of Dedan Kimathi by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Micere Githae Mugo
4.0
This is a beautifully written book about Kenyan Culture and their struggle for independence. It shows how brutal, cheap, manipulative, money monger the white man was. How the capitalists exploited the natives. One of my favourite quotes from the book is
"Two laws. Two justices.One law and one justice protects the man of property, the man of wealth, the foreign exploiter. Another law, another justice, silences the poor, the hungry, our people."
It shows the exploitation of women in the Kenyan society. And it also focuses on the concern of 'neo-coloniser'.
So, in short I would add that this is a short but rich text. A must read.
