"This is the story of Kenya from the Lancaster House Conference of early 1960 to the formation of the new Government in April 1961. The Conference opened the way to an African state in Kenya and was regarded by the European settlers there as a final betrayal of all their hopes. The election became thus a testing of whether the minority communities of Kenya - European, Asian, and Arab - could come to terms with African nationalism, the power of the future. The problem was intensified by the events of the Congo, which renewed old feaqrs springing from the recent experience of Mau Mau. Overshadowing all else was the exiled figure of Jomo Kenyatta, judicially condemned for managing Mau Mau and described by the Governor of Kenya as 'leader to darkness and death', but accepted by the mass of Kenya Africans as the father of their nationalism so that 'Freedom and Kenyatta' became their election cry." 1006N00050F8 Political Science, History
