Description
V. S. Reid is a Jamaican author of the book The Leopard. It illustrates the difficulties faced by Kenyans during the Mau Mau Rebellion. The Mau Mau insurrection is also depicted in novels similar to The Leopard, such as Caroline Elkins’ Imperial Reckoning (2005) and Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s Petals of Blood (1977). But The Leopard stands out from other books of its ilk because it primarily addresses issues of human nature related to the coexistence of violence and hatred between Africans and Europeans.
