The study maintained that the colonial and post-colonial policies restructured the traditional Isukha marriage institution from courtship, bride wealth, marriage ceremony, widow guardianship to polygamy. The objectives that guided this research included the evaluation of significance of marriage among the Isukha during the pre-colonial period; examination of the establishment of colonial and missionaries’ activities in Isukha; exploration on Isukha marital structural responses to colonial policies and missionary activities; assessing changes in marital relations of the Isukha community in 1963 to 1990; and post-colonial period on labour, property and marital relationship among the Isukha to 2010. The historical research design was used in this research in order to link phases of the area of the study. The study was informed by the theories of articulation of modes of production and agency. Data collection was done through primary and secondary sources by use of vast archival materials and the oral interviews that revealed the state of Isukha perception of marriage institution. Purposive sampling and snowballing techniques were used to select a sample of 60 participants well versed with Isukha marriage from the target population. The research instrument that were employed to collect oral data included unstructured interview schedule, and Focus Group Discussions. Data was analysed using qualitative method. It was compiled into themes and reported in descriptive texts and direct quotations. The study established that the traditional marital institution was the foundation of Isukha society because marriage ceremony fostered cohesion and socialization among community members. It equally observed that, the establishment of the church through missionaries’ activities who acted as fore runners of colonialism impacted on traditional Isukha marriage institution. The study also established that the period 1945-1963 marked a transition in the Isukha marriage institution courtesy of rural- urban migration of the persons under study. Furthermore, the study also found out that while the missionaries and the colonial state with considerable difficulty articulated foreign marital practices, the Isukha responded as receptive agents ready to accommodate, absorb and assimilate new practices into their traditional marriage institution. The Isukha therefore, retained what they deemed beneficial to their marital institution and restructured their traditional institution of marriage with the new and progressive ideas from the missionaries, the colonial state and globalization with what they considered beneficial to the marriage institution. With this nature of the Isukha, their marital institution and property structurally evolved during the period of this study. The research findings established harmonization of the missionary and colonial progressive marital values into the traditional Isukha marital system. The study recommends the need to incorporate some traditional practices such as bridewealth payment, parent’s involvement in family life education and communal interest in the choice of a partner which are harmless and the registration of all marital unions in order to protect the matrimonial rights of the parties. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION .......................................................................................................... ii DEDICATION ............................................................................................................. iii ACKNOWELDGEMENTS ......................................................................................... iv ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................v TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................. vi LIST OF TABLES .........................................................................................................x LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................................... xi GLOSSARY ............................................................................................................... xii OPERATIONAL DEFINITION OF TERMS ........................................................... xiv ABREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS .......................................................................xv CHAPTER ONE ..........................................................................................................1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY ...........................................................................1 1.1 Introduction ..............................................................................................................1 1.2 Study Area ...............................................................................................................5 1.3 Statement of the Problem .......................................................................................11 1.4 Purpose of the Study ..............................................................................................11 1.5 Objectives of the Study ..........................................................................................11 1.6 Research Questions ................................................................................................12

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Woman as Mother and Wife in the African Context of the Family in the Light of John Paul II’s Anthropological and Theological Foundation: The Case Reflected within the Bantu and Nilotic Tribes of Kenya A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America For the Degree Doctor of Sacred Theology © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Joseph Okech Adhunga Washington, D. C. 2012 Woman as Mother and Wife in the African Context of the Family in the Light of John Paul II’s Anthropological and Theological Foundation: The Case reflected within the Bantu and Nilotic Tribes of Kenya Joseph Okech Adhunga, S.T.D. Director: Brian V. Johnstone, S.T.D. This study examines the theological and anthropological foundations of the understanding of the dignity and vocation of woman as mother and wife, gifts given by God that expresses the riches of the African concept of family. There are two approaches to inculturation theology in Africa, namely, that which attempts to construct African theology by starting from the biblical ecclesial teachings and finds from them what features of African are relevant to the Christian theological and anthropological values, and the other one takes the African cultural background as the point of departure. The first section examines the cultural concept of woman as a mother and wife in the African context of the family, focusing mainly on the Bantu and Nilotic tribes of Kenya. This presentation examines African creation myths, oral stories, some key concepts, namely life, family, clan and community, marriage and procreation, and considers the understandings of African theologians and bishops relating to the “the Church as Family.” The second section examines the theological anthropology of John Paul II focusing mainly on his Theology of the Body and Mulieris Dignitatem.

Bauer, D.Miss. Date completed: May 2008 Problem Seventh-day Adventist Christians in Kenya struggle to practice pure biblical teaching because many still practice African traditional beliefs. Many traditional beliefs are inconsistent with biblical teachings. This problem has contributed to syncretism that has weakened the Adventist message in Kenya. Many of the church members follow traditional beliefs because they fear to be condemned by members in society. The traditional belief that says a dead person continues to live and can communicate with the family is still strongly supported by many people in Kenya.

  • 211 SECTION II PROVINCIAL and DISTRICT RECORD BOOKS The
    211 SECTION II PROVINCIAL AND DISTRICT RECORD BOOKS The sixteen reels of Political Record Books (PRB) contain materials that were origi­ nally intended to be a continually expanding collection of data and source of information for use by colonial officials. As such, subjects found in these records range from character evaluations of headml,n, comments on various tribes, oral tradition, and lengthy analyses of tribal law and customs, to land and boundary issues, education policy, and statistics. News­ paper and magazine clippings, correspondence, and departmental and administrative reports are included. Political Record Books, in short, contain such information considered by officials as of sufficil:nt importance to meet the needs of their successors in terms both of historical background and current administrative problems. District and provincial offi­ cers regularly updated these records, and although on occasion certain record books under­ went major reorganization, the arrangement of the records vary considerably from one record to another and in fact often leave a great deal to be desired in terms of organization. Headings found in the record books, e. g., are not always indicative of the material found therein. The bulk of the materials were compiled before World War II. Entries are arranged in the following manner: citations on the Kenya National Archives inserts appear as elsewhere in capitals. Due to space limitations and to updating or absence of date and author, subjects within a particular record book have been grouped into a lengthy annotation under the insert label. Reports that are clearly separate documents within a record book receive Beparate citations, as does correspondence that lends itself to grouping, either by subject or correspondents (see p.

However, the communal lands immediately outside the forest are regulated by customary laws / taboos and practices shaped by longstanding association between the local communities and the nominated sites. Justification: The Mijikenda Sacred Kaya forests are an outstanding and unique African example of how the collective attitudes and beliefs of a rural society have shaped or sculpted a landscape over time in response to prevailing needs. They contain the traces of historic fortified settlements of the Mijikenda ancestors which serve as a focus of cultural and ritual activities continuing on the sites today.

  • Conservation of Natural and Cultural Heritage in Kenya
    Conservation of Natural and Cultural Heritage in Kenya Heritage and Cultural Natural Conservation of In Kenya, cultural and natural heritage has a particular value. Its prehistoric heritage not only tells the story of man's origin and evolution but Conservation has also contributed to the understanding of the earth's history, via fossils and artefacts spanning over 27 million years that have been discovered and conserved by the National Museums of Kenya (NMK). Alongside this, the steady rise in the market value of African art has also affected Kenya: demand for African tribal art has surpassed that for antiquities of of Roman, Byzantine, and Egyptian origin, and in African countries currently experiencing conflicts, this activity invariably attracts looters, traffickers and criminal networks. This book brings together essays by heritage experts from different Natural backgrounds, including conservation, heritage management, museum studies, archaeology, environment and social sciences, architecture and landscape, geography, philosophy and economics to explore three key themes: the underlying ethics, practices and legal issues of heritage and conservation; the exploration of architectural and urban heritage of Nairobi; and the natural heritage, landscapes and sacred sites in relation to local Kenyan communities and tourism. It thus provides an overview of conservation practices in Kenya from 2000 to 2015 and highlights the role of natural and cultural heritage as a key factor of social-economic Cultural development, and as a potential instrument for conflict resolution. ANNE-MARIE DEISSER is Research Associate at the Department of History and Archaeology of the University of Nairobi and Honorary Research Associate at UCL’s Institute of Archaeology, London.
