 For Ngugi Watitiango, as has been the consistent purpose of his life's work, there are two categories of those who write without him. The first category consists of authors of colonial narratives, i.e. Ian Henderson, The Hunt for Didan Kamati, or Corothers, The Psychology of Mau Mau, who saw the movement and the soldiers for freedom as nothing more than a mumbo-jumbo-ish cult. The selected vocabulary was intended to reinforce this narrative.
