Kenya by Daniel Branch

Kenya by Daniel Branch

An illuminating account of Kenya's first fifty years of independence and the issues that block the nation's path to prosperity and justice

"[An] engaging and important book"-Philip Murphy, International Affairs -- Philip Murphy International Affairs "...there had been a glaring shortage of really good general works on its post-independence history. [Kenya] not only plugs that hole, but has much to say too about the possible futures of many other poor post-colonial states."-Stephen Howe, The Independent -- Stephen Howe The Independent "Branch has produced a largely narrative account, accessible to the general, non-specialist reader, and an excellent primer for students on African Studies courses interested in Kenya."-Warris Vianni, Awaaz Magazine.com -- Warris Vianni Awaaz Magazine.com "...The greatest strength of the book is its scope. Branch masterfully pulls together five decades of often baffling complexity doublespeak and cover-ups, into an insightful and highly readable story. Kenyan historiography has been begging for such a book." "...This book's achievements deserve to be celebrated: combining scholarly rigour with accessibility, it stands as the best account of post-colonial Kenyan politics."-Edward Goodman, The English Historical Review -- Edward Goodman The English Historical Review
