Eluid Mahihu: My Story: In the corrid...
THE VOICES OF THOSE WHO have played critical roles In leadership and administration in Kenya are rarely heard after they have left the stage. Many have carried the memories of their personal stories with them to the grave. Gone with them are significant elements of the collective story, and the institutional national memory. It has been left to commentators and sundry writers to frame them in various ways, depending on the intended purposes for each frame.
In this volume, Eliud Mahihu breaks the ranks with those who served in his times, to give a candid rendition of his experience in the corridors of power, spanning wide times across the British colonial rule, the Jomo Kenyatta regime and the Daniel Arap Moi years. Mahihu was especially in his element in high level decision making spaces during the 15 years of the Jomo Kenyatta government
The reader of the Mahihu story has a rare opportunity for incursion into this first-hand narrative on the life and times of one of the people who were at the centre of power in some of Kenya’s most defining moments and happenings. The rendition is crowned by eye-witness accounts and participatory narratives that capture the Jomo Kenyatta State House, and the eventual passing on of the country’s founding president on 22 August 1978, and the aftermath.

Stories of Hope and Transformation
Tumaini Kwa Watoto (Children of Hope)'s vision of rescuing children from the streets and taking them back to their families has been one of its kind in Kenya. The theme
verse of the ministry is Psalm 68:6a "God places the lonely in
families" (NLT). Heddwyn and Lydiah Williams, including their team,
have kept their focus on this verse. They have reintegrated over
8,700 children from the streets with their families. The ministry of
Tumaini Kwa Watoto has given hope to many lonely and lost children on
the streets of Kenya and their families.
Lydiah Williams: I'm a passionate follower of Jesus Christ and a
worshipper of God. I enjoy encouraging, mentoring and discipling
others to live the full and satisfying life that Jesus promised.
I love God, and I love people - always ready to give a hug or a Welsh
'cwtch' to everyone who needs one and to open my home to offer hospitality.
I’m an avid reader. I never stop learning because I’m convinced that learning is for life. Books expand my horizon and I hope this book expands your horizon too! I enjoy giving hope to hurting people, especially children and women. I like swimming, and in the last few years I have enjoyed aquarobics for fitness and to stay connected with local women.
I was born in Kenya, and I am married to Heddwyn, who comes from Wales. Since 2011, we have made our family home in Swansea after working in Kenya for over 13 years. We have four adult children and ten amazing grandchildren!
I am voice for the voiceless and hopeless: "Speak up for those who cannot speak
for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice." (Proverbs 31:8-9 NLT)
My friend Ali says, "What a blessing it is to have Lydiah as my friend
and sister in faith. She has shared her incredible knowledge of the
Bible with me, and has discipled and given me understanding, and
deepening my faith in the process. What a privilege it has been to
listen to her life and to learn about their charity work of reuniting
children on the streets with their families in Kenya. She has ignited
my passion for Jesus. What a blessing she is indeed!"
Bri says, "The Williams family did nothing without prayer as they put
their trust in God. Prayer for them was the first - not last resort.
They prayed before meals, before journeys and before making decisions.
They prayed first thing in the morning, last thing and in the middle of
the night. Nothing was too small to talk to God about. No wonder their
influence has been so significant, because of their dependence on God."
Brian Farr, Chairman of UK Trustees, Tumaini Kwa Watoto, 1998-2016

expressive forms both lyrical and elegiac, that dive deep into exploring
what it means to be human in an age of social and ecological breakdown.

worlds, inspire radical hope with their lucid vision of the indivisible unity
of life in all its changing aspects.

wonder and renewal, inviting us to reimagine our relationship with the
earth and to each other within an integral Cosmos.
A DIASPORAN STRATEGY FOR DEVELOPMENT
Unhappy Valley: Conflict in Kenya �...
This long-awaited book is a considerable revision in the understanding of the history of colonial Kenya and, more widely, colonialism in Africa. There is a substantial amount of new work and this is interlocked with shared areas of concern that the authors have been exploring since 1976.
The authors investigate major themes. These include the conquest origins and subsequent development of the colonial state, the contradictory social forces that articulated African societies to European capitalism, and the creation of new political communities and changing meanings of ethnicity in Africa, in the context of social differentiation and class formation. There is substantial new work on the problems of Mau Mau and of wealth, poverty and civic virtue in Kikuyu political thought.
The authors make a fresh contribution to a deeper historical understanding of the development of contemporary Kenyan society and, in particular, of the British and Kukuyu origins of Mau Mau and the emergency of the 1950s.
They also highlight some of the shortcomings of ideas about development, explore the limitations of narrowly structuralist Marxist theory of the state, and reflect on the role of history in the future of Africa.
Book Two on Violence and Ethnicity gives new insights into popular consciousness, into revolutionary change and into the subtle realities of ethnicity; it will be of particular value to readers of Ngugi.
The Natural Environment! My other Thr...
This book examines the natural environment as an integral dimension of human identity, framing it as the 'Other Threatened Self.' The 'Other' is understood not as an alien entity but as that which shapes and complements human identity from beyond the self (a silent partner in existence).
From philosophical, ecological and phenomenological perspectives, the book argues that estrangement from nature is not only an ecological crisis but also a crisis of selfhood. The destruction of ecosystems reflects the fragmentation of human subjectivity; to forget nature is to lose the fullness of being. On the other hand, taking it into account restores an ontological wholeness where humanity and the natural world share their essence.
Modern technological relationships, however, tend to reduce the environment to a calculable resource, abstracted into units of use and exchange. Against this reduction, the book reclaims the environment as the 'Other Threatened Self,' reawakening the ethical imperative of responsibility in which care for the earth is inseparable from care for oneself.
Such a reorientation opens a path to ecological renewal, not through technical fixes, but through grounding human life in an ontology of interdependence and reverence for the more-than-human world. The book, therefore, proposes an integrative vision of sustainability that heals the fractured relationship between humans and their threatened ecological self, calling for a renewed consciousness that recognises care for nature as care for one's own being.

Kìthìnji
Kìthìnji is a contemporary Kenyan novella that explores the intersection of mental health, societal expectations, education, marriage, and generational trauma in rural Kenya. The story follows Lina, a university graduate who navigates the collapse of her carefully constructed life as her husband Jeff descends into mental illness, her brother Martin loses his grip on reality, and her daughter Kaarì rejects traditional values. Through interconnected character studies, the novella critiques the failures of the education system, the stigma surrounding mental health, the rigidity of community judgment, and the slow erosion of cultural foundations.
