Neubauer, “One Voice Speaking for Many: the Mau Mau Movement and Kenyan Autobiography”, Journal of Modern African Studies 21, 1 (1983): 113–131. Neubauer examines three biographies in order to show how the self‐portrait captures “the story of many through the life of one”. See, also, Franco Ferrarotti, “Biography and the Social Sciences”, Social Research, 50, 1, 1983, pp. 57–80. The author is interested in how biographies “illuminate the transition between the peasant world and technically oriented industrial society”. 3 For a description of Mathare Valley see Mwingga Wa‐Githumo, “The Quagmire of the Urban Poor in Nairobi”, Journal of East African Research and Development 13, (1983): 126–149 and A.
