Facing Mount Kenya

Facing Mount Kenya

With an Introduction by Bronislav Malinkowski, <i>Facing Mount Kenya </i>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. <i>Facing Mount Kenya</i> 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.
