Lumumba: Africa’s Lost Leader by Leo Zeilig The book charts Lumumba’s fast transition from a localized Congolese nationalist working as a postal clerk into a revolutionary Pan-African leader. Zeilig analyzes how the Congo's fight for independence became a proxy battleground for the United States and the Soviet Union, impacting post-1945 global decolonization. The narrative highlights the direct and indirect involvement of Western intelligence agencies, specifically Belgian and American actors, in plotting Lumumba’s 1961 execution. It explores how Lumumba's martyrdom transformed him into an enduring international symbol of anti-imperialist resistance alongside figures like Che Guevara. nuriakenya.com/product/lumum… KShs3,500.00

Kenyan Fiction, Top recommendation. BOY CHILD by Franz Owano Lives of three Kenyan men wrestling with identity, inheritance, and the weight of becoming. As their paths collide in an unlikely odyssey, one question echoes through it all isn't the son nothing more than an extension of the father? Boy Child is a novel about fathers and sons, about the dreams we inherit and the ones we dare to build for ourselves. It is, above all, a story about the long, famished road to self-discovery and the question of whether any man truly walks it alone. nuriakenya.com/product/boy-c… KShs1,500.00
