{"product_id":"kikuyu-women-the-mau-mau-cora-ann-presley-9781580730471","title":"Kikuyu Women, the Mau Mau Rebellion and Social Change in Kenya","description":"Based on rare oral data from women participants in the \"Mau Mau\" rebellion, this book chronicles changes in women's domestic reproduction, legal status, and gender roles that took place under colonial rule. This book links labor activism, cultural nationalism, and the more overtly political issues of land alienation, judicial control, and character of the colonial administration in an analysis of the impact of colonial policy on Kikuyu society, and especially its negative consequences for women. Dr. Presley argues that women's involvement in anti-colonial activities began during the World War I era when the state forcibly recruited women into a wage labor system characterized by physical and sexual abuse. Women took part in all facets of the increasingly violent nationalist movement, including serving in the guerrilla army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cora Ann Presley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580730477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580730471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Classic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.91w x 0.63d","brand":"Cora Ann Presley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372532977919,"sku":"9781580730471","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37a5e7f1-b7d6-4711-a762-ed0a937b5e3a.jpg?v=1732726214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kikuyu-women-the-mau-mau-cora-ann-presley-9781580730471","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
