Why has this literature on the whole been so submissive, hardly depicting the masses as capable of making history? Why have the artists in Kenya not been singing praises of heroes like Dedan Kiimathi and their epic deeds of resistance? Whose history and whose have the writers and historians been recording? These are some of the questions that led Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Micere Githae Mugo to write The Trial of Dedain Kimathi, a powerful play dramatising Kenya's liberation struggle, focusing on Dedan Kimathi, a celebrated leader of the Mau Mau revolution. In spite of all the pressure that is brought to bear on him, Kimathi refuses to surrender to Brtish imperialism.
