Mau Mau Uprising: Mount Kenya
built 634 days ago
White settlers – many of them upper middle class - fired all their Kikuyu help because they feared that any – if not all - of them would be a secret Mau Mau. They armed themselves with anything they could find or smuggle and in some cases built full-scale forts. Women carried holstered guns with them. Many white settlers ... joined auxiliary police units like Kenya Regiment.

The authors say that Kenyans "must not think that they alone have argued about Mau Mau. The disputed memories of other nationhoods, at times of particular crises, are very similar to the struggles that have occurred to shape Mau Mau memory for the purposes of shifting presents."
