Description: Mwaki Utangihoreka by Prof Maina Wa Kinyatti The author was arrested in June 1984 and sentenced to six years imprisonment for a crime of thought. In prison, he was viciously tortured by agents of Moi dictatorship. Despite the brutal torture, the author refused to submit to the ideology of neocolonialism. His courage and defiance place him in the anti-imperialist resistance tradition set in motion by the Mau Mau revolutionaries who patriotically and courageously fought the British imperialist occupiers and won the battle of national independence. The author was released in 1988 after the completion of his prison term. Whilst in prison and under extremely condition, he secretly continued to write and smuggled everything he wrote out of the prison. This book, written in Gikuyu language, includes some of his important, anti-imperialist writings from the prison years, including letters to his parents and comrades, revolutionary poems, theoretical writings, personal memoirs and political essays concerning the democratic struggle that was going on during that period. The book also exposes the inhumanity and brutality of the Kenyan prison system at that time. On balance then, this book combines two of the authors fundamental interests--the concern for the oppressed and exploited Kenyans, and for the success of the national democratic revolution in his country, Kenya.
