The women, in returning to the Kenyan space I have superimposed them on, pose an
invitation to rethink/reconstruct/reimagine the narrative silence of Kenyan/African history where women were involved. A silence used as its own proof of their lack of involvement outside the socio-cultural purvey of "women's issues" as dictated by cultural nationalism. The narrative so far starts from a romanticized version of the African as
provided for by Franz Fanon, leading into the African woman as the wise and all-knowing as narrated by Ishmael Beah before the African woman as other (W.e.B DuBois), as taboo (Okot p'Bitek) and as dead (Chinua Achebe) lead to the stirring
postcolonial cries for what has been lost via Ijuoma Imebinyuo, Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor
and Okot p'Bitek, finally making way to the cultural nationalism that dictates what history was without taking into account the African woman's role in it via Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and No Violet Bulawayo, ending with a reflection from Albert Camus on rebellion and society.
