c. 1897 AD–c. 1978 AD
Jomo Kenyatta
British Empire · Resistance & colonized agency · Indigenous peoples & dispossession · Law & imperial government · Decolonization & independence
Kenyatta articulated Kikuyu demands over land and representation, participated in Pan-African networks and was imprisoned during the Kenya Emergency after a trial whose fairness has been widely questioned. Released in 1961, he led the negotiated transition, became prime minister at independence in 1963 and president from 1964. His government consolidated national sovereignty but also concentrated power and maintained unequal land distribution
