- Summary:
- "'Wisdom of the elders' presents conversations with over 70 elders of diverse background, education level, race and gender. One is none other than immediate former President Emilio Mwai Kibaki. Another is the widow of former freedom fighter Dedan Kimathi, while another is the grandmother of President Barrack Hussein. Others are normal Kenyans living in villages, with no claim to fame or stature. However, all those profiled have lived three score ten years and more and in the words of the Bible, have reached the age of wisdom. Discussing how life was then and how it is today, their disparate views will inform and resonate as they provide a veritable history lesson."--Dust jacket flap.
