Book Synopsis Mau Mau's Daughter by : Wambui Waiyaki Otieno
Book excerpt: The autobiography of a woman who was a Kenyan nationalist fighter for the Mau Maus and later politician in Nairobi. Descended from Maasai refugees, Kikuyu frontier settlers, and autochthonous Dorobo hunter-gatherers, she tells the story of her ancestors, her childhood, how she got involved in the Mau Mau rebellion of the 1950s, the later story of her involvement with the Kenya African National Union, her marriage to Nairobi lawyer Silvano Melea Otieno, and the controversy over his burial, which was the impetus for the writing of this book.
