Mau Mau Author in Detention: The Subversive ‘We’ in a Colonial Era Detention Diary
In seeking an answer to the question as to why Kenyan author Gakaara wa Wanjau penned Mau Mau Author in Detention, we may consider the fact that he wrote other works as well — before, during, and after his detention.
