Listen Later

With this episode of Guerrilla History, we continue our series on African Revolutions and Decolonization with a brilliant supplement reflecting on the Mau Mau Uprising.  Here, Shiraz Durrani goes through the history and its implications of the uprising, in a really fascinating and useful conversation!  This is a brilliant companion to our previous episode in the series, The Mau Mau Uprising w/ Nicholas Mwangi, which you should also check out if you have not done so.  Be sure to share this series with comrades, we are still in the very early phases of the planned ~40 parts, so it is a great time for them to start listening in as well!   Also subscribe to our Substack (free!) to keep up to date with what we are doing.  With so many episodes coming in this series (and beyond), you won't want to miss anything, so get the updates straight to your inbox.  guerrillahistory.substack.com   Shiraz Durrani is a Kenyan writer who has written expensively on Mau Mau, as well as other aspects of Kenyan history.  You can follow him on twitter @sinahabari, and check out many of his articles here, as well as his numerous books here.
