A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the violent early years of British colonization in Kenya. They focus on the Kikuyu, who bore the brunt of land alienation and forced labor under the Imperial British East Africa Company. The conversation centers on the Battle of Ijii in 1895, a pivotal but little-known clash where Kikuyu warriors faced British-led Swahili and Maasai levies. Lucas explains how the British used divide-and-rule tactics, exploiting rivalries between the Maasai and Kikuyu. He also covers the imposition of the hut tax, the construction of the Uganda Railway ('the Lunatic Express'), and the rise of early resistance figures like Waiyaki wa Hinga. Luna asks about the role of missionaries and the legal status of Africans under colonial rule. The episode ends by reflecting on how these events set the stage for the Mau Mau uprising decades later.
