Facing Mount Kenya, first published in 1938, is an anthropological study of the people of the Kikuyu tribe of central Kenya. It was written by native Kikuyu and future Kenyan president Jomo Kenyatta.
The book's introduction was written by anthropologist Bronisław Malinowski, who mentored Kenyatta while both were at the London School of Economics. Malinowski wrote 'As a first-hand account of a representative African culture, as an invaluable document in the principles underlying culture-contact and change and as a personal statement of the new outlook of a progressive African, this book will rank as a pioneering achievement of outstanding merit.'
