Gender and Education in Kenya - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Gender and Education in Kenya - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Gender and Education in Kenya explores the intersections of curriculum, pedagogy, policy, and gender. The contributors study depictions of gender in textbooks, the presence and roles of girls and women within classrooms in Kenya, and female leadership in education, arguing that, despite recent policies put in place by the Kenyan government to ensure gender parity in education, there is still a need to make curriculum more gender responsive. Gender and Education in Kenya examines the disparity between male and female representation in education and advocate for more training for teachers about gender-related educational policies and implementing gender-responsive objectives in classrooms. The collection concludes with a study of the intersection of gender and disability with a chapter that explores the additional challenges for a blind girl in school and the lack of policies in place to help disabled students.

Foreign Aid's Effects on Development and Human Security in Kenya - John Bosco Ngendakurio - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Foreign Aid's Effects on Development and Human Security in Kenya - John Bosco Ngendakurio - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

More than $1 trillion has been transferred to Africa from rich countries in development-related aid in the last 50 years. Despite this, poverty levels continue to surge. Using Kenya as a case study, Foreign Aid’s Effects on Development and Human Security in Kenya by John Bosco Ngendakurio demonstrates the effects and limitations of foreign aid on development and human security in poor countries. Kenya, a sub-Saharan African country and recipient of large-scale foreign aid, is a microcosm of what is happening in Africa and a good place to start to address the following question: How does foreign aid affect human security? Through archival research and interviews, Ngendakurio identifies that the key challenges to foreign aid effectiveness in Kenya are the complexities of Kenyan human security issues, the legacies of colonialism and neo-colonial practices as well as foreign aid’s controversies, including corruption, bureaucracy, donor fatigue, and international actors’ hidden agendas. Providing a geopolitical analysis of the long-term effects of colonialism in Kenya, this book investigates foreign aid schemes to contribute further knowledge and firsthand accounts to reshape the processes for the benefit of both the donors and the intended beneficiaries.

Countering Violent Extremism in Kenya - John Mwangi Githigaro - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Countering Violent Extremism in Kenya - John Mwangi Githigaro - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Before the rise of the Al-Shabaab, Eastern Africa was home to different organizational nodes of the Al- Qaeda network. Al-Qaeda was responsible for many threats, of which include the August 7, 1998 bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. As terrorism threats have evolved over the years, countermeasures have continued to do the same. Countering Violent Extremism in Kenya: Community, State, and Security Perspectives by John Mwangi explores Kenya’s historical experiences with terrorism in the pre and posts 9/11 periods as a lens to situate how different stakeholders present the threats of extremism and the associated counter-measures they consider as valuable. The stakeholders presented throughout this book include: security actors, society organizations, academics, and community members. Through extended ethnographic research and fieldwork collected from focus groups within Nairobi and Mombasa between 2016 and 2022, Mwangi offers an opportunity to observe the evolution of counter-terrorism interventions in Kenya and the dilemmas this has created around primarily state-society relations, an exploration of how different stakeholders perceive the efficacy of counter-terrorism measures, and the appraisal of counter-terrorism initiative (CT) interventions that render ongoing CVE interventions less effective.

Instructional Cinema and African Audiences in Colonial Kenya, 1926–1963 - Samson Kaunga Ndanyi - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Instructional Cinema and African Audiences in Colonial Kenya, 1926–1963 - Samson Kaunga Ndanyi - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In Instructional Cinema and African Audiences in Colonial Kenya, 1926–1963, the author argues against the colonial logic instigating that films made for African audiences in Kenya influenced them to embrace certain elements of western civilization but Africans had nothing to offer in return. The author frames this logic as unidirectional approach purporting that Africans were passive recipients of colonial programs. Contrary to this understanding, the author insists that African viewers were active participants in the discourse of cinema in Kenya. Employing unorthodox means to protest mediocre films devoid of basic elements of film production, African spectators forced the colonial government to reconsider the way it produced films. The author frames the reconsideration as bidirectional approach. Instructional cinema first emerged as a tool to “educate” and “modernize” Africans, but it transformed into a contestable space of cultural and political power, a space that both sides appropriated to negotiate power and actualize their abstract ideas.

Trade Unions and the Age of Information and Communication Technologies in Kenya - Eric E. Otenyo - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Trade Unions and the Age of Information and Communication Technologies in Kenya - Eric E. Otenyo - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Trade Unions and the Age of Information and Communication Technologies in Kenya provides a comprehensive description of the use of ICTs within the trade union movement in Kenya. In this book, Professor Eric Otenyo explores the intersection between new technologies and union as key stakeholders in national governance and development. The dearth of research on how trade unions can play a part in the new economy continues to undermine the effective use of ICTs in development. This book brings to light the challenges that unions face while navigating the new economy and netstate characterized by a proliferation of ICTs and globalization.

The Legacy of Slavery in Coastal Kenya - Herman Ogoti Kiriama - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Legacy of Slavery in Coastal Kenya - Herman Ogoti Kiriama - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

To either achieve or resist domination, some postcolonial and post slavery societies appropriate and contest the current memories on slavery. This occurs more often where the sites of slavery are tourist attractions that positively empower the communities through economic benefits, resulting in an emergence of ‘new’ memories of the past and a constant construction and reconstruction of identity. In The Legacy of Slavery in Coastal Kenya: Memory, Identity, and Heritage, Herman Ogoti Kiriama examines how two communities in coastal Kenya, one whose identity is contested by the community members and another one who are seeking recognition, have tried to remember their past and the role that tourism has played in the process of remembering and or forgetting. Kiriama argues that heritage, memory, and identity are fluid and individuals can claim several identities depending on their socio-politico-economic contexts.

Nongovernmental Organization Culture and Ethics in Kenya - Douglas Kimemia - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Nongovernmental Organization Culture and Ethics in Kenya - Douglas Kimemia - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Non-Governmental sector has played a noble role in providing needed support following market failure and government failure all over the world. In developing countries and Africa in particular, this sector has become an important arm of economic development and civic engagement. However, there is growing suspicion, accompanied by increased evidence, that these organizations have been tolerating corrupt practices, such as lack of accountability and transparency, nepotism, and favoritism in their governing systems and finances. Douglas Kimemia’s, Nongovernmental Organization Culture and Ethics in Kenya focuses on the relationship between the intersection of corruption and organizational culture among NGOs in Kenya. Kimemia stresses that NGOs should model strong culture to increase confidence among the various organizational stakeholders to showcase high integrity, transparency, and sound governance that does not tolerate any corrupt practices This book offers solutions to strengthen the existing culture within NGOs and examines how organizational culture impacts engagement in corrupt practices.

The Political Economy of Sugar Production in Colonial Kenya - Godriver Wanga Odhiambo - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Political Economy of Sugar Production in Colonial Kenya - Godriver Wanga Odhiambo - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book describes the Asian agency in sugar production in colonial Nyanza and additionally examines the Asian initiative and the development of commercial cane farming in Central Nyanza. It provides a different perspective on the Asian initiative in agriculture by showing how Asians were involved in sugarcane farming and how production of sugar in colonial Nyanza was eventually made possible by Asian capital. This study relies mainly on primary sources, secondary sources, and oral interviews. The archival sources were derived from the Kenya National Archives. The primary materials included annual reports of the Department of Agriculture, District annual reports, Provincial reports, monthly intelligence reports, colonial officials’ correspondence, and correspondence from East Africa India National Congress. Oral interviews were also conducted to verify some information while the secondary sources were used to supplement the sources. This work is unique first due to its extensive use of archival sources, as most of these archival sources have not been used by other scholars in the field. Secondly, it deals with all parts of the sugar production process; it shows the connection to the current sugar situation in Kenya and also provides a framework in which to understand the persistent insufficiency in Kenya’s sugar industry. This work provides an important contribution to Kenyan economic history.

Muslim and Catholic Responses to HIV and AIDS in Kenya - Timothy James Carey - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Muslim and Catholic Responses to HIV and AIDS in Kenya - Timothy James Carey - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In the capital city of Nairobi, Kenya, African Catholic and Sunni Muslim leaders addressing HIV and AIDS are faced with a unique challenge. On the one hand, they are called to attend to the spiritual wellbeing of the infected individual; on the other hand, they are increasingly charged with serving as the stewards of the physical bodies of those negatively affected by such a physiologically debilitating and social stigmatized disease through certain identifiable interreligious traditions common to both faiths. This book explores this development firsthand. While conducting fieldwork in Nairobi, Carey interviewed Muslim and Catholic leaders working in three areas—HIV and AIDS prevention, education, and destigmatization. These recorded observations and accounts help to illustrate that religious officials from within African Catholicism and Sunni Islam are attempting to provide the common inter-religious traditions of mercy, hospitality, and justice in a holistic manner for those living with the virus in the city.The research that produced this book involved six weeks of fieldwork during the summer of 2014 to help fill in the interstices between anthropological, sociological, and ethnographic accounts provided by other leading academics in their respective fields. It presumed that religious traditions in Kenya exhibit a susceptibility to culture and context and a practical openness to its social environment which then affords this particular work a unique theological perspective in its attempt to identify and analyze patterns of social behavior and religious organization.

History, Identity and the Bukusu-Bagisu Relations on the Kenya and Uganda Border - Peter Wafula Wekesa - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

History, Identity and the Bukusu-Bagisu Relations on the Kenya and Uganda Border - Peter Wafula Wekesa - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

History, Identity, and the Bukusu-Bagisu Relations on the Kenya and Uganda Border analyzes issues of history, identity, and the Bukusu-Bagisu relations on the Kenya and Uganda border. From this microcosmic level, Peter Wafula Wekesa explores forms of trans-border social, economic, and political relations that have evolved between the two communities since the pre-colonial period. Utilizing both primary and secondary sources, Wekesa presents the context within which border relations between the two groups emerged and were transformed over time. This book delves into the history of relations between the two peoples that had long developed before the European colonial partition. The partition, as Wekesa observes, not only ignored African interests, but also generally entrenched western notions of the border that contradicted African conceptions of space. These western notions were augmented by the colonial and independent government policies that froze the historical solidarities that had existed between the two communities. However, colonial and independent government policies generated contradictions over the Bukusu-Bugisu borderland area that made the control of the interactions between the two communities within the distinct geopolitical spaces problematic. As such, both formal and informal dynamics made the common Bukusu-Bugisu borderland a site of numerous permutations.

Conservation and Community in Kenya - Carolyn K. Lesorogol - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Conservation and Community in Kenya - Carolyn K. Lesorogol - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Community-based wildlife conservation is promoted as a win-win solution for wildlife and people that will protect biodiversity while improving the economic status of communities living among wildlife. This book, based on mixed-method anthropological research conducted in Samburu County, Kenya, demonstrates that, counter to simple narratives promising benefits, community-based wildlife conservancies (CBCs) are complex social institutions layered on pre-existing land use practices with differential impacts for members. Using ethnographic and mixed methods, the Carolyn K. Lesorogol explains how diverse social actors understand and operate CBCs, how benefits and costs are distributed, the gendered nature of CBCs, and how they impact cooperation and conflict in communities. Lesorogrol’s analysis shows that economic benefits to members are generally very limited, and while some perceive improvements in security emanating from CBCs, there is also evidence that they heighten tensions over land use as well as human-wildlife conflict. This book offers critical insights into the implications of the CBC model for local pastoralist livelihoods, conservation, and social relations.

Womanhood and Girlhood in Twenty-First Century Middle Class Kenya - Besi Brillian Muhonja - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Womanhood and Girlhood in Twenty-First Century Middle Class Kenya - Besi Brillian Muhonja - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This study of twenty first century girlhoods and womanhoods charts a new area of scholarship on Kenya. The chapters investigate questions related to how new rituals of girlhood and womanhood that materialize when religious, indigenous, and foreign worlds encounter each other are re-structuring family and society, recasting roles, and informing fresh conceptualizations of African girlhood and womanhood. The author’s interdisciplinary analysis and writing journeys through the different stages of girlhood and womanhood as ritualized by Kenya’s 21st century middle class, and teases out the implications of these peculiarities to identity (re)creation and the restructuring of societies’ organs, and traditionally gendered institutions. Applying a critical African studies lens, the arguments in this book center women as originators of action and thought without inquiring into a male other. Essentially, this work disrupts patri-centered constructions and examinations of female bodies and identities. The resulting deductions inform on the substratum of Kenyan girls and women’s self-definitions as manifest through their experiences and ritualized practices, and articulate the impact of the performances of these bodies and identities on Kenyan and global societies.

Terrorism in Kenya and Uganda - Anneli Botha - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book analyzes some of the commonly accepted causes of radicalization within the context of four organizations in eastern Africa. It identifies and discusses the facilitating agents needed to enable radicalization and recruitment, and answers one of the most fundamental questions the public and scholars alike are confronted with: Why are all people confronted with the same external circumstances not being radicalized? Practitioners and policymakers will realize that although one can learn from the experiences of others, developing and implementing effective counter-radicalization strategies should be shaped around the unique circumstances of the specific organization.

Controversial Chiefs in Colonial Kenya - Evanson N. Wamagatta - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Controversial Chiefs in Colonial Kenya - Evanson N. Wamagatta - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Senior Chief Waruhiu wa Kung’u is one of colonial Kenya’s most controversial chiefs. His name has gone down in history as a traitor who was assassinated because he sold his country to the British colonizers. This book is the untold story of the controversial life of Senior Chief Waruhiu who served the colonial government for thirty years. He believed his white superiors’ authority was God-given and to disobey them was tantamount to disobeying God himself. That was why he was considered loyal, obedient, dependable, responsible, efficient, and a tower of strength.Chief Waruhiu’s violent death dealt his reputation a devastating blow, as it provided his critics with a basis to portray him as a traitor who sold out to the colonizers. Although Waruhiu believed that the Africans were not yet ready for self-government—and that they could not attain it through violence—that did not make him a traitor. Other chiefs also believed that and yet were not labeled as traitors. However, this did lead to him being considered a very pro-government and pro-European chief who was opposed to the aspirations of his people and he, as a result, deserved to be killed.Although it is believed that Waruhiu was killed by Mau Mau, there is no evidence to support that claim. The white settler community gained a lot from Waruhiu’s murder as it paved the way for it to get what it had been demanding for a long time—a declaration of a state of emergency and the arrest and detention of African leaders. It is very likely that some leaders of the white settlers, working together with government officials, were probably behind Waruhiu’s murder. The police, the prosecution, and the court seemed determined to make the murder charges against the accused suspects stick in spite of glaring discrepancies and contradictions in the evidence against them. Above all, the prosecution failed to prove beyond any reasonable doubts that Waweru and Gathuku killed Waruhiu. Thus, the mystery of who killed Waruhiu and those behind his murder still remains unresolved and the perpetrators of the murder may never be known.

Gender, Ethnicity, and Violence in Kenya’s Transitions to Democracy - Lyn Ossome - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Gender, Ethnicity, and Violence in Kenya’s Transitions to Democracy - Lyn Ossome - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Critiquing the valorization of democracy as a means of containing violence and stabilizing political contestation, this book draws links between the democratization process and sexual/gendered violence observed against women during electioneering periods in Kenya. The book shows the contradictory relationship between democracy and gendered violence as being largely influenced in the first instance by the capitalist interests vested in the colonial state and its imperative to exploit laboring women; secondly, in the nature of the postcolonial state and politics largely captured by ethnic, bourgeois class interests; and third, influenced by neoliberal political ideology that has remained largely disarticulated from women''s structural positions in Kenyan society. It argues that colonial capitalist interests established certain patterns of gender exploitation that extended into the postcolonial period such that the indigenous bourgeoisie took the form of an ethnicized elite. Ethnicity shaped politics and neoliberal political ideology further blocked women’s integration into politics in substantive ways. It concludes that it is not so much the norms and values of liberal democracy that assist in understanding women’s exclusion, but rather the structural dynamics that have shaped women’s experiences of democratic politics. In this way, gender violence in the context of democratization and electoral violence with its gendered manifestation can be fully understood as deeply embedded in the history of the structural dynamics of colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchalism in Kenya.

Clever Design in Critical Times - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This edited volume identifies and establishes the idea of the Callidocene, which the authors position as an epoch that both includes and extends beyond the current conception of the Anthropocene. While the word ‘Anthropocene’ has become strongly associated with concerns over humanity’s impact on the planet, contributors turn instead to the Callidocene—intended to encompass human, machine, and system cleverness— to emphasize the hopeful and positive aspects of human influence on the world. Contributors posit that designers in particular have increasingly attempted to consider the impact of their work on society, culture, and the environment, and this book will contribute to this conversation through its analyses of a wide range of topics, including complexity in design, media toxicity, and community innovation in sustainability. Collectively, contributions to this volume highlight the potential of human cleverness to address - or even reverse- the damage we’ve inflicted on both ourselves and our planet. Scholars of sociology, environmental studies, cultural studies, media studies, and communication will find this book of particular interest.

Refugee Spaces and Urban Citizenship in Nairobi - Derese G. Kassa - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Kenya has been the third major outlet through which hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and South Sudan flee from political persecution and for better livelihoods. This book is a commentary of Nairobi as an urban refugee space. It provides an in-depth ethnographic account and analysis of state-refugee relations in Nairobi focusing mainly on the lived experience of Ethiopian refugees. In addition, the author employs Henry Lefebvre’s work on “right to the city” to explore and qualify whether the literature in urban citizenship can speak to the Kenyan experience. This book is a timely and remarkable addition into the cannon of scholarship in comparative urban studies, African studies, and refugee studies.

On Dwelling - Dennis E. Skocz - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

On Dwelling: Poetry, Place, and Politics unfolds the meaning of dwelling as both being in the world, and being on the earth with others. Dennis E. Skocz traces a path from the places we call home, through the global market place (said to foster a “world without borders”), to the planet we co-inhabit. The book addresses themes of displacement, contested space, and estrangement along with specific issues like migration, ethnic division, and resource use. Embracing the discourses of poetry, philosophy, and politics the book uses a cross-disciplinary approach to tackle the diversity and complexity of the topic. The investigation is grounded in phenomenology, with economics, jurisprudence, political theory, geo-physics, cultural anthropology, and other sciences coming into play. It builds on first-person “lived experience” and the “lifeworld” as a concrete basis for understanding. Challenged by real-world issues of co-existence, the book culminates in sketching a “political space” where stakeholders in the future of the planet can collaborate across the globe for the earth and its dwellers.
