Mau Mau rebellion

This week on Lumumba’s Africa, the professor takes us inside the fiery heart of Kenya’s struggle for land and freedom – the Mau Mau rebellion. Through gripping analysis, he examines how ordinary Kenyans, bound by secret oaths and unbending resolve, took up machetes against an empire armed with bombers and concentration camps. Join us as Professor Lumumba decolonizes the history, honors the martyrs, and asks what Kenya’s forest fighters teach us about resistance, memory, and justice today.

Mau Mau rebellion
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
