| Abstract: | Analyses the Mau Mau rebellion as a 20th century example of a transition from what E.J. Hobsbawm calls social banditry to what the author calls social rebellion. He compares and contrasts certain aspects of Hobsbawm's model with the realities of the Mau Mau and shows that this case offers an illustration of a social banditry which developed as a result of conditions not exclusively economic.
