  • The Southern Kikuyu Before 1903 by L.S.B. Leakey: A Must-Read on Agĩkũyũ History and Culture This remarkable three-volume book, The Southern Kikuyu Before 1903, offers an in-depth account of the Agĩkũyũ people’s traditions, way of life, and social structures before and during the onset of European influence. Authored by renowned anthropologist Dr. L.S.B. Leakey, the research was conducted in the 1930s, and the first edition was published in 1977. Widely recognized as a cornerstone of African anthropology, this masterpiece reflects Dr. Leakey’s lifelong connection with the Agĩkũyũ community, among whom he was born and raised. Written in the elegant and accessible style of 1930s scholarship, the book draws on oral histories and the memories of Agĩkũyũ elders who entrusted him with their knowledge and stories. The book’s greatest strength lies in its detailed exploration of Agĩkũyũ culture and practices. It covers diverse topics such as: Customs and traditions Agriculture and animal husbandry Trade and marriage customs Arts and clothing Cuisine and rites of passage Religious beliefs, magic, and medicine In addition, the botanical index at the end of the book is an exceptional resource, offering one of the most comprehensive listings of native plants from the Mt. Kenya region. This Third Unabridged Edition, now available in a high-quality paperback format, is a must-have for historians, researchers, and anyone passionate about African culture and history. Priced at Ksh 24,000 (exclusive of courier charges), this timeless work is an invaluable addition to any collection.
