Description:
Onitsha, Nigeria: Academy (NIG) Bookshops, 1971. A play about Jomo Kanyatta's struggles to free Kenyans from white colonial rule first published soon after Kenyatta was released from prison in 1961. As Bernth Lindfors describes in "Heroes and Hero-Worship in Nigerian Chapbooks," "Kenyatta is pictured as a freedom fighter leading large regiments of Mau Mau troops in guerrilla warfare against white setlers and in major military campaigns against government forces. On the day Kenyatta is captured at a political rally, four thousand Kikuyu men, women and children are shot dead by government soldiers" (p. 4). Iguh was the author of similar plays, "Dr. Nkrumah in the Struggle for Freedom" and "Last Days of Lumumba," among other works and is an author often mentioned in scholarship on the Onitsham Marketplace. Stapled, photo-illustrated wrappers (8" x 5 ½"), 56 p.
