Ebook: Mwaki Ũtangĩhoreka: Kũnyuithio Thiki Njeera

"Mwaki Ũtangĩhoreka (The Inextinguishable Fire) is a prison diary secretly written in Gĩkũyũ language when the author was in prison in Kenya between 1982 and 1988 for a crime of thought. It is a devastating expose of Kenya's neocolonial politics during Moi's reign of terror. In strong language, the author describes, with concrete examples, the real story of the Moi dictatorship—the suppression of human rights, the demolition of democratic platforms, the enrichment of the neocolonial ruling class, the culture of corruption and economic dependency on the Western imperialist democracies. The author also describes in details the horror of the Kenyan prison system and the psychological and physical torture he was subjected to. But despite the torture, the author refused to submit to ideological control and neocolonial culture."
