What are the motifs in Facing Mount Kenya; the Tribal Life of Gikuyu by Jomo Kenyatta?

Unity is a motif that is strong throughout the novel, and this theme is a central component to the culture of the Gikuyu. Kenyatta points out several times in the book that the entire culture is based on the cooperation of others to provide a strong basis for a community. First, there is unity in the family.
