About this product

Product Information

With an Introduction by Bronislav Malinkowski, Facing Mount Kenya is a central document of the highest distinction in anthropological literature, an invaluable key to the structure of African society and the nature of the African mind. Facing Mount Kenya is not only a formal study of life and death, work and play, sex and the family in one of the greatest tribes of contemporary Africa, but a work of considerable literary merit. The very sight and sound of Kikuyu tribal life presented here are at once comprehensive and intimate, and as precise as they are compassionate.

  • an excellent resource for learning about traditional African culture

    Definitely not an easy read - more a scholarly reference than a book to curl up with on vacation. It loses some relevance with respect to current events (1980's and beyond) but I would recommend it as a must have for anyone wanting to learn more about traditional African culture.

  • Facing Mt Kenya

    Its about my culture as an African a kenyan and most of all a Kikuyu. Have to get it read about where i am from, what i represent and pass it on to my kids.
