"This book contains reflections from a network of young social justice activists associated with the Ukombozi library in Nairobi, Kenya, Social Justice Centres across Kenya, who have come together to form a network of organic intellectual inside the social justice movement as part writing and articulating the the struggles of the Movement. There are fourteen reflections on a book they have read, Pio Gama Pinto: Kenya's Unsung Martyr 1927 - 1965 by Shiraz Durani (Vita Books, 2018) Pio Gama Pinto was born in Kenya on March 31, 1927. He was assassinated in Nairobi on February 24, 1965. In his short life, he became a symbol of anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles in Kenya and India. He was actively involved in Goa's struggle against Portuguese colonialism and in Mau Mau during Kenya's war of independence. For this, he was detained by the British colonial authorities in Kenya from 1954-59. His contribution to the struggle for liberation for working people spanned two continents - Africa and Asia. And it covered two phases of imperialism - colonialism in Kenya and Goa and neo-colonialism in Kenya after independence. His enemies saw no way of stopping the intense, lifelong struggle waged by Pinto - except through an assassin's bullets. But his contribution, his ideas, and his ideals are remembered and upheld even today by people active in liberation struggles."--
