Customer Reviews

We have a heritage

Mzee is deep,truly. Too bad I wasn't born early enough to experience him. I read this book a long time ago-9 years, I was 16 then. It moved me, connected me with a fact of me that I didn't know existed. The tribal ways of the Gikuyu are here in detail-read, make yourself proud. PS:I have my uncles supervintage copy and I am not selling it

Gikuyu 101

A good sample of a typical african traditional government. A historical account of the Agikuyu.

Amazing - Must Read For All Young Kikuyus

I got interested in learning more about my culture after listening to incredible stories from the past from a 70 year old Kikuyu woman. I bought the book and it was an intense understanding of my own culture. Its a great shame that not many young Kikuyus know as much about their own rich, beautiful culture. My son has to read it. I wish Kikuyus could recapture some of those traditions.

Reliable source of information on Kikuyu culture.

A most detailed and reliable account on Kikuyu heritage, customs and way of life.

Excellent book on Kikuyu culture!

This book is a must read for anyone interested in Kikuyu culture
