[Godfrey Lienhardt reviews Traditional Ideology and Ethics among the Southern Luo]: "President Kenyatta's account of teh customs and values of the Kikuyu, Facing Mount Kenya, published in 1938 with an appraisal from Malinowski, is probably the best-known study of his own people in English by an African. It has been followed by many others, including several by writers coming from peoples akin to the Southern Luo, notably the historian Professor B. A. Ogot, the Acholi poet Okot p'Bitek, Dr. F. M. Deng and now A. B. C. Ochalla-Ayayo. Like Kenyatta, these later writers have been absorbed from childhood the languages and interests of their homelands, and returned to reflect on them in the light of wider anthropological knowledge."
