An interesting description of and apologia for male and female circumcision
among the Kikukus of Kenya is given in "Toward Mount Kenya," by Jomo
Kenyatta. It was written when he was a student of anthropology in England,
and is an in-depth description of his own tribe's history and customs.

Sorry I can't find my copy to give the publisher and year (I think it was
published in the '40's).
