This rare autobiographical account offers a unique window into the life of R. Mugo Gatheru, a Kikuyu man who navigated the complexities of colonial Kenya. Published in 1972, at a pivotal time in the nation’s history, “Child of Two Worlds” provides a first-hand perspective on the cultural clashes and societal upheavals that shaped the country’s path to independence. Gatheru’s candid recollections shed light on the Kikuyu traditions, values, and struggles against British rule, offering a poignant counterpoint to the often one-sided narratives of the time. This copy, while bearing the gentle marks of age and readership, remains a well-preserved testament to a pivotal era, inviting collectors and readers alike to immerse themselves in a rarely documented perspective on Kenya’s tumultuous journey.
