Jomo Kenyatta--bearded, tough, still something of a mystery, although now in his seventies--dominates the new Kenya. Beneath him rival factions battle for power, and the representatives of both East and West contend for influence as the pattern of independent rule emerges in this always turbulent former colony. Cox gives a clear and compelling account of what uhuru has brought, and of the value that black rule places on the white man's future role in Africa.   (#0000590)
