| Description: |
Faced with incorporation into a disadvantageous world economy, Berida has grappled with life-threatening disease, the death of children, domestic abuse, famine, alcoholism, poverty, AIDS, the necessity to pursue illegal trade on occasion, and political turmoil. This book tells the story of Berida Ndambuki. |
| Synopsis: |
Here is the life history of Berida Ndambuki, a Kenyan woman trader born in 1936, who speaks movingly of her experiences under the turbulences of late British colonialism and independence. A poverty survivor, Berida overcame patriarchal constraints to reclaim the rights to her labor, her body, and her spirit. She invokes a many-faceted picture of central Kenyan life in this compelling narrative. |
