The autobiography of a woman who was a Kenyan nationalist fighter for the Mau Maus and later politician in Nairobi. Descended from Maasai refugees, Kikuyu frontier settlers, and autochthonous Dorobo hunter-gatherers, she tells the story of her ancestors, her childhood, how she got involved in the Mau Mau rebellion of the 1950s, the later story of her involvement with the Kenya African National Union, her marriage to Nairobi lawyer Silvano Melea Otieno, and the controversy over his burial, which was the impetus for the writing of this book.

It’s tough being being Chief of Homicide when there have been four murders of piano students—all in the same studio apartment! So Huntoon Cambourne knows his job is on the line as he tries to prevent a fifth murder. He’s not lacking for clues because there is a cheap straw hat found at the scene of all four murders. And then there’s the matter of the killer leaving a $20 gold piece in the alms bucket of a deaf and blind mendicant down on the street near the apartment house. But how does the murderer get into the death room when the only opening is a trapdoor that’s only reachable by a dangerous 7-foot leap?
NOBEL PRIZE WINNER • A remarkable memoir of courage, faith, and the power of persistence about one woman's extraodinary journey from her childhood in rural Kenya to the world stage. “[Maathai’s] story provides uplifting proof of the power of perseverance—and of the power of principled, passionate people to change their countries and inspire the world.” —The Washington Post In Unbowed, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai recounts her extraordinary life. When Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977, she began a vital poor people’s environmental movement, focused on the empowerment of women, that soon spread across Africa. Persevering through run-ins with the Kenyan government and personal losses, and jailed and beaten on numerous occasions, Maathai continued to fight tirelessly to save Kenya’s forests and to restore democracy to her beloved country.

I have never played the game, and I once asked a more current, internationally recognized prophet, 'How is it that I'm not invited to your prophetic functions, seeing that I have the history in this calling long before any of you?' He said, 'Art, the reason you're not invited is that you are not an 'in-house' prophet. We can't count on you to go along. You might upset the apple cart.' What I recognize in this flush of new prophets is a fraternity of mutual, self-congratulatory men who affirm one another and I do not fit in with that environment. They know it, and so I am not in that dimension. I am not known, or if I am known, I am either little known or scorned. -Art Katz interview (2001)
