| dc.description.abstract | Why was Mau Mau believed to be so evil? The horror story of Britain's empire in the 1950s, it was less of a military threat but thought to be more atrocious than either the Malayan Communists or the Cypriot EOKA. The movement has lived in British memories as a symbol of African savagery, and modern Kenyans are divided by its images, militant nationalism or chauvinist thuggery. This essay explores some of these Mau Maus of the mind. | en_US |
