This strange and powerful work mixes memoir, social history, polemic, and manifesto ... A terrifying work of enormous importance that contrasts humanity with bestiality, dignity with depravity. -Kirkus (Starred Review) Fascinating ... It is difficult to complete I Refuse to Die without admiring Koigi's selflessness and courage. -Washington Post Book World Gripping ... Despite his personal suffering and Kenya's struggles through colonial and postcolonial strife, wa Wamwere exhibits resilience and optimism in his inspiring autobiography. -Booklist ... a passionate and poignant testimony to the struggle of one man-and by that I also mean one family and one people-to remember and survive the evil lessons of history. But it is also much more than that. Koigi wa Wamwere, in life and print, challenges us to make freedom a word that means something tangible for all. -Rain Taxi
