Facing mount Kenya : The Traditional life of the Gikuyu

---

Facing Mount Kenya is a classic ethnographic work written by Jomo Kenyatta, a Kenyan national figure and trained anthropologist. This book provides an in-depth look at the traditional life of the Gikuyu (Kikuyu) people, Kenya's largest ethnic group. Using a scholarly approach and personal experience as part of this community, Kenyatta explains the social structure, family system, traditional education, marriage customs, beliefs, and values ​​that shape Gikuyu identity.

This work is not only important in the study of African anthropology but also serves as a historical document explaining how the Gikuyu people maintained their culture in the face of British colonialism. With a foreword by renowned anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski, this book is considered a major contribution to the understanding of African culture from an African perspective.
