Write a foreword to Jomo Kenyatta's Facing Mount Kenya: The Tribal Life of the
Gikuyu. In it, make connections between concepts from the lesson - namely job
specialization and social stratification - and the book that readers are about to
study. Your job is to encourage readers to think about Kenyatta's account in the
context of history.
Your foreword should include an introduction paragraph with a general statement
about what historians can learn about job specialization and social stratification in
Neolithic times from the Gikuyu people, as described by Kenyatta. Your foreword
should also include several body paragraphs that go into more detail, citing
examples from the reading. Finally, your foreword should end with a conclusion
paragraph that reminds readers of your overall point and encourages them to read
the book.
