The Authoritarian Police State | Britain's Shameful Colonial Past in Kenya AKA "The Emergency" (part 2)

Part 2 of a (now) THREE PART series.

The Authoritarian Police State | Britain's Shameful Colonial Past in Kenya AKA "The Emergency" (part 2)

Let's talk about the authoritarian police state and white nationalist response to Kenyan sovereignty.

The Mau Mau rebellion, the Kenyan Land and Freedom Army,  Jomo Kenyatta, Nairobi, Gikuyu/Kikuyu history.  Part 2 of a 3 part history podcast series on how Kenya gained independence from England...

Warning: it's unpleasant.

I'm going to outline the stakes for Kenyan independence, the political issues faced by Africans and the W I L D behavior of the British (United Kingdom) colonial governments in African countries. In this episode, I'll detail more white nationalism, African nationalism and talk about the Lari Massacre, one of the most significant events in changing public opinion in favor of the colonial government (but not for the reason you think.)

BACK from my hiatus and ready for black history month. This will be my first black history month doing this podcast...

This is a 3 part series documenting the Kenyan emergency. The 3rd part will be here soon because I am finally back in my office and can record, write, and ruin everyone's day by constantly talking about obscure black history.  Yay!
