Synopsis

Note
Our motivation stems from the belief that it is time that Kenyans author their own history. We were both born in independent Kenya but, having been taught a British history at school, we knew nothing of the true nature of colonial rule. We wish to challenge British accounts and centre the Kenyan experience; to tell of what ordinary Kenyans suffered under colonialism - and of the independence struggle - by those who lived it, so that future generations have a more accurate perspective of this era. We wish to connect the dots between historical context and present-day issues, emphasizing that colonialism is not a closed chapter of the past; rather it is alive today in its profound impacts.
