cease-fire in Kenya. II can do
that within four weeks Of my ar
rival in Kenya. Here now before
the people of Kenya, of Britain,
of the United States and of the
whole civilized world l declare that
further bloodshed is useless"
Today in Kenya, a British colony
on the East Coast of Africa, over
5000 men, women and children
have been killed. A lot of people
think these Africans are backward
and going "back to the bush" Mr..
Koinange, whose father and broth
ers are today in concentration
camps in Africa, describes in vivid
detail how advanced his people are,
how they were trying to 60 to
school, to work, to trade and to
build their organizations like peo-
pie all over the civilized world
knew until the European settlers
imposed the present Emergency"
The Africans knew the vast amount
Of ground they still had to cover,
but they were confident that peo-
pie everywhere would rejoice at
the progress they were making.
Now a few thousand settlers
have closed down African schools,
churches, Operatives and organi-
cations, put the Africans into con-
centration camps, driven the
young people into the hills and are
trying to liquidate the five and
one-half million Africans in Ken
va as the Indians were liquidated
in this country.
"All the talk about Mau Man,"
Mr.. Koinange writes, "boils down
to this. From the moment the
African people in Kenya began to
make their case known to the peo-
pie of Britain and the world, the
European settlers became terri
fled. They recognized that the
British people as whole, whether
Conservative, Labour or Liberal,
had absolutely nothing to gain by
a scandal protecting the privileges
Of few thousand settlers"
The Africans in Kenya are not
backward. They want to be part
of the modern world, not separate
from it.
The booklet is dedicated by Mr..
Koinange to Njeri, the leader of
the African Women's League, an
organization of 10000 women. She
is today in a prison camp. Mr..
Koinange writes: 81 would like to
tell her story and ask women in

can study programs.

Typifying such interest is the
recent ward at Yale of q $4,200-a-
year scholarship for students from
the Central African Federation of
the Rhodesians and Nyasaland.
Attraction Of African students to
colleges in the United States is
considered an important part Of the
enlargement of American studies
on Africa.
And there is no doubt that the
vastly increased number Of Afri-
can students at American colleges
since World War II has greatly
stimulated interest in their land.
Currently, one two main centers
of university study in African af-
fairs are Northwestern and Bos-
ton Universities, where complete
African study Programs have
been set up, both assisted by sub
stantial grants.
On The Graduate Level
Interest in Africa at Northwest
ern has existed since 1927, but the
most ambitious study program
came into being in 1861 with a
100000 five-year grant from the
Carnegie Corporation. In the three
years prior to this the University
had received $4,000 from the Cor
poration in grants.
| In addition, a 1926 900 five-year
Ford Foundation grant has just
been awarded to the University, to
be used primarily for faculty field
studies in Africa and for students
preparing for African research.
Boston University's African Re-
search and Studies Program, found
ed in 1853, has been spurred by
a 100000 five-year grant from
the Ford Foundation, which prom

The People of Kenya Speak for

Fund, 600 Woodward Ave-, De-

The story behind "Mau Mau"
is told for the first time in this
little book, "The People Of Kenya
Speak for Themselves" by Mbiyu
Koinange. The author, the son of
an ex-senior chief, is the Presi-
dent of Kenya Teachers College.
In 1851 he was sent by his people
to make known the truth Of what
they think, feel and want to the
people outside East Africa. This
booklet carries out that mission.
Mr.. Koinange stakes his reputa-
ton that he can bring about a

organizations in Britain, America,
India, the West Indies and all over
the world if putting her in prison
is the way to bring Western civil
cation to Africa"
Mr.. Koinange continues: LET
the Kenya African people have the
modern institutions they have been
trying to build. Let them have
the Kenya Teachers College, the
Kenya African Union, the African
Women's League, the Kenya Ma
tional Bank, the cooperatives and
the independent schools. That is
the cure for Mau Mau and not a
lot of talk about back to the bush"
Thousands of Americans, white
and colored, from all walks of life
have made possible the publication
of this booklet. Seven Detroit
clerkymen, Christian and Jewish,
are urging their colleagues all over
the country to bring it to the at
tention of their congregations on
Saturday and Sunday, January 20
and 80. In advance of publication,
sale of the first printing of 10000
is already assured. Fifteen hum
dred copies each have been ordered
for India and the Gold Coast. Bun
die orders are two dollars for IL
copies plus SOC for postage and
handling.
The booklet also contains 80
pages of documents, letters and
bulletins from the settlers and
from the Kenya Africans that have
never before been published.

are on the graduate level. As yet
no undergrade major African STU
dies has been instituted. Both have
as their primary object the deep
ening Of knowledge Of Africa in
the United States.
Prof. Melville ]. Herskovits, head
Of African Studies at Northwestern
University, says Of his univer-
sity's program:
I'm view Of the present rudi-
mentary understanding Of Africa
in the United States, and the
need for the dissemination Of
knowledge Of Africa on the most
solid, long-term basis, 1t has been
that our program should primarily
train students for teaching and
research at the college and uni
versity level. In such institutions,
as faculty members they can init
ate courses on Africa, and develop
working library resources which
will encourage further informed
interest. Many Of those who have
gone out of the program have as
sumed posts Of this kind"
Specific Aims
DR.. William o. Brown, director
of Boston University's program,
and formerly chief Of the State
Departments African Research
Branch, outlines his overall OBJ
jective as the developing and
deepening Of knowledge Of Africa
in the United States"
Specifically, Boston University's
aims are:
i. To provide specialized train
ing in African studies for gradu-
ate students Of the university's
various departments-with an en-
phasis on training for academic
or research careers;
2. To provide background in
African affairs for accidentally
qualified people who have career
interests in Africa such as in gov
eminent business, education, jour-
nalism missions, and social welfare
or other fields of social action; and
3. To provide basic information
on African affairs for interested
individuals, without reference to
their academic or career programs
Besides variety of courses and
seminars offered at Northwestern
University on African affairs, the
University also sponsors courses
by visiting professors and experts
The African library numbers more
than 5000 volumes and the library
subscribes to 1925 African period.

a large number of recordings OF

tons have ben sent to Africa.

yet in its formative state, never
theless already includes several
courses on Africa and has rapidly
