Mukara (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162609119)

Mukara is a thought-provoking novel written by Muriel Bruce. The story is set in Kenya during the colonial era and follows the life of a young girl named Mukara. Mukara is the daughter of a Kikuyu woman and a British colonial officer, and her mixed heritage makes her a target of discrimination and prejudice from both the British and the Kikuyu communities.The novel explores themes of identity, race, and colonialism as Mukara struggles to find her place in a society that views her as an outsider. As she grows up, Mukara becomes increasingly aware of the injustices and inequalities that exist in her world, and she begins to question the colonial system that has shaped her life.Through Mukara's journey, the novel offers a powerful critique of colonialism and its impact on the lives of the people it seeks to control. It also celebrates the resilience and strength of those who resist oppression and fight for their rights.Overall, Mukara is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on the complex history of colonialism in Kenya. It is a must-read for anyone interested in African literature, postcolonial studies, or social justice issues.This novel grew out of the notes written by Colonel P.H. Fawcett during his quest of a pre-historic city in the unexplored mountain country of Brazil. It is based on his former expeditions in that country and his anticipations in regard to the journey on which he set out in December 1924, from which he never returned.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
