Wangari Maathai on "Unbowed: A Memoir"
Wangari Maathai, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, is the founder of the Green Belt Movement in her home country of Kenya, an environmental group that has restored indigenous forests and assisted rural women by paying them to plant trees in their communities. Since 1977, it has planted more than 30 million trees in Kenya and has been replicated in dozens of other African countries. Maathai is currently Kenya's Deputy Minister for the Environment and Natural Resources and a Member of Parliament.
In her new book, "Unbowed," she shares the story of her life: her message of hope and self-sufficiency despite her struggles, both personal and political, in the changing landscape of Kenya. She has dedicated her life to empowering others, especially women. As the extent of Maathai's popular influence became clear, she was continually hounded, beaten, and jailed. She persisted and eventually prevailed; her Green Belt Movement has planted tens of millions of trees, and in 2002, multiparty democracy and free, fair elections returned to Kenya. - Codys Books

We MUST give credit where credit is due and discard the partisan idiocy that would negate one of the best hopes for Africa -and the world. Dr Maathai has a keen grasp of issues facing not only Africa but all impoverished areas of the world. She also has excellent vision for breaking the chains of poverty and oppression. What an outrage it is that such stupid partisan hatred can rise to oppose such good, positive influences such as Maathai.
she should go to jail for saying that kikuyu's are thiefs that dont care bout anything but people's money and land. kibaki cheating in the election...u know what other tribes like kissii and kalenjin and luos want peace so stop wtf u are doing!!!!!
Wangari is a real expansionist. Kikuyuland has become too small for the Kikuyu, so they now want to share the land (natural RESOURCE) of other natives. They want to get other people's ancestral lands through a New Constitution that will enable the Kikuyu to buy Kalenjin, Nandi, Luo, Pokot... lands.
In Nairobi, the Kikuyu really do look at your pocket or handbag and grab all your money (resources?). Jomo Kenyatta told them, go and grab the lands and everything belonging to other peoples; and, the only rule should be that you should not be caught in the act. Let those Wangari Kikuyu come to Luoland to grab or buy Luo land and see what will be done to them.
