Scope and content This collection of 23 documents covers Gikuyu cultural, economic and historical information circa 1900 to 1995. Two documents were compiled by two famous Kenyans; these works provide a very comprehensive and intimate account of Gikuyu culture and recent history. Four documents provide information on pre-colonial Gikuyu culture and society. Ten documents are based on findings of multidisciplinary research conducted in a Gikuyu village called Ngecha from 1967-1973. These focus on Ngecha's physical geography, resident families, and historical settings, as well as aspects of change in behavior and family life. Other documents are based on work in different Gikuyu villages in 1980s and 1990s. These deal with the lives of women, patterns of marriage across generations, trends in adolescent sexual behavior and fertility, household economic strategies, and continuities in the cultural values of children. One document reviews works on the Mau Mau Rebellion in light of women's participation.
