Description
Mau Mau in Harlem?: The U.S. and the Liberation of Kenya by G. Ghana Horne examines the transnational connections between the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya and the Black liberation movements in the United States. Horne explores how the struggle for independence in Kenya influenced African American activists and intellectuals, who saw parallels between their own fight for civil rights and the anti-colonial resistance in Kenya. The book delves into the ways in which the Mau Mau movement was perceived and represented in Harlem and other Black communities in the U.S., and how this interaction shaped both African and African American political consciousness. Through detailed analysis, Horne highlights the global dimensions of liberation struggles and the solidarity between oppressed peoples across continents.
