Professor Caroline Elkins was recently featured on Radiolab's July 3 episode, Mau Mau.

When Professor Elkins came across a stray document left by the British colonial government in Nairobi, Kenya, she opened the door to a new reckoning with the history of one of Britain's colonial crown jewels, and the fearsome group of rebels known as the Mau Mau. Through interviews with Professor Elkins, historians, archivists, journalists, and legal experts the new history of Kenya is revealed, document by document.
