She was born when her family, along with many other Kuria people were crossing north across the international boundary between Tanzania (a German colony) and Kenya (a British one) around the time of World War I, one of the sites of which was fought in this very region. It is the ambition of this project to write a book that pursues the two strains of history available for that period: the archival records of the German and British colonial administration, and the oral tradition and living memory of Kuria people alive at that time.
To build the temporal, spatial, cultural and demographic context, Prazak is exploring archival sources, including those of the nation of Kenya, of the Seventh Day Adventist church, of the Pentecostal Fellowship of America, and of the Mill Hill Brothers from Ireland. She is also conducting much research in secondary sources. And she continues to listen to the approximately 40 hours of recorded interviews with this elder as well as many others she have interviewed on similar themes, and organize transcripts and images.
