What you need to know:

  • Not so long ago, reading these books could have landed you in detention.
  • Individuals who played a role in the Mwakenya underground movement are coming out.
  • The former Mwakenya members have already reprinted some of the publication.

The Ukombozi Library and the Mau Mau Research Centre are located at some old nondescript poorly-lit building along the University of Nairobi.

To arrive at the centre, you have to climb through a steep staircase made out of old metal bars.
