The Politics of Wildlife in East and South-Central Africa, 1920-1992 © 2014 By Jeffrey Schauer ABSTRACT Imperial Ark? The Politics of Wildlife in East and South-Central Africa, 1920-1992 by Jeffrey Schauer Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor James Vernon, Chair The dissertation examines the “politics of wildlife” in British colonies in East and South-Central Africa during the colonial era and after independence. By conceptualizing that “politics” around the institutions, individuals, and interests that took an interest in wildlife matters, the dissertation attends to the emergence of and changes in wildlife policy as they were shaped by the characteristics of colonial rule and a broader set of regional, imperial, and global developments, including decolonization and post-Second World War internationalism. It also attends to the influence of Africans on shaping colonial wildlife policy, whether as farmers, nationalists, or local officials. The central discovery of this dissertation is that wildlife policy moved from being the preserve of an imperial lobby to a policy sphere governed by the concerns of various sectors of local colonial society. After the Second World War, security concerns combined with a strengthened international preservationist movement to effectively internationalise Africa’s wildlife. This occurred alongside Africanization, a policy pursued by newly-independent governments in order to shore up their own control over policymaking, and the arrival of international scientists, who sought to introduce their own priorities to the wildlife sector. In this seven-decade contest between those interests which were local, colonial, or national on the one hand, and those which were imperial, international, or global on the other, a surprising array of interests sought to capture East and South-Central Africa’s wildlife sector for ambitions related to economic development, anti-colonial campaigning, preservationist advocacy, scientific inquiry, administrative supremacy, and colonial and national security. Over time, struggles for the control of this sector reflected broader trends at the global and local levels, marking the ascendancy and eclipse of colonial empires, and the rise of a neo-colonial order. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS IMAGES AND TABLES ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iii INTRODUCTION.

Needless to say, while they may take credit for any of the strengths in what follows, I reserve the right to myself to claim responsibility for its ills. Research funding is critical for any historical study—particularly those which are conducted in part abroad. I am grateful to the Centers for British and African Studies at UC Berkeley. The former provided a travel grant, a pre-dissertation grant from the Anglo-California Foundation, and a Berkeley-Pembroke Exchange Grant, which allowed me to spend a semester at Pembroke College in Cambridge. The Center also provided a lively and generous intellectual community. The Center for African Studies, under the tireless leadership of Martha Saavedra, kindly administered Rocca pre-dissertation and dissertation grants, and the opportunity to present work and discuss field methods, as well as many wonderful events. The Department of History and Graduate Division provided further funding, and I must thank Gina Farales in the Grad Division Fellowship Office for her help. Without this financial support, what follows would have been impossible. The History Department at UC Berkeley provided a happy institutional home for six years. Much of this has to do with the incomparable Mabel Lee, who so far as I can tell has never met a question she couldn’t answer or a problem she shouldn’t solve, an invaluable quality in a large, bureaucratic institution, and one made all the more priceless by her warmth and kindness. I benefited enormously from the guidance, whether in coursework or GSI work, of Ethan Shagan, Abena Osseo-Asare, J P Daughton, Jonathan Sheehan, Stefan-Ludwig Hoffmann, and Alan Karras. Joseph Omwamba gamely provided Kiswahili lessons in a Dwinelle basement during summer months, and Africanist Librarian Jason Schultz has been of great assistance. Tom Metcalf not only co-taught my first course at Berkeley, but has provided leads, advice, and feedback since. Jeff Romm, from the Environmental Sciences, Policy, and Management Department led a wonderful graduate seminar and provided guidance for my qualifying exams, on which he sat as a member. I arrived at Berkeley from UC Irvine, and Doug Haynes has continued to be a source of advice and support. Laura Mitchell hosted a wonderful African Studies multi-campus research group at Irvine, served as a member of my exam committee, and has kept her inbox open to questions about the field, the academic world, and miscellanea as they poured in from Berkeley, Britain, and Africa. My fellow-travellers in the graduate program, in my cohort and in the British Studies world and beyond, have made the experience that much better. Penny Ismay, Riyad Koya, and Caroline Shaw first shepherded me on a tour of the Berkeley campus when I visited, and have been supportive ever since. Chase Arnold, Nora Barakat, Angelo Caglioti, Chris Church, Jon Cole, Graham Foreman, Rob Harkins, Katie Harper, Radhika Natarajan, Carrie Ritter and Tehila Sasson constituted a support-group in Berkeley, and I had a number of helpful conversations with Louisa Lombard about wildlife politics in Africa. Work abroad and in the archives requires the support of a great many other people. At Pembroke College, Becky Coombs and Loraine Gelthrope allowed me to slip into a productive research routine. The Centre of African Studies at Cambridge, and Felicitas Becker and Emma Hunter in particular, provided a welcoming community. Bill Adams at Cambridge and William Beinart at Oxford offered insights and advice. Stella Brecknell (Hope Library), Ellie Davies (Empire and Commonwealth Museum Library), Carol Davis (Kendal Museum), James Hatton iii (Natural History Museum), Michael Palmer (Zoological Society of London Library), and the staffs of the Pembroke College Library, the University Library (Cambridge), the British Library, Rhodes House Library (Oxford), and the British National Archives all provided wonderful assistance during repeated visits to Britain. With James Vernon, David Anderson and Megan Vaughan advocated for the opening of the records of the Nuffield Unit of Tropical Animal Ecology at the University Library of Cambridge, and I am grateful to Claire Castle, Jane Acred, Michael Akam, and Jacky Cox for facilitating that opening. Megan Braun was a good hiking buddy and provided many an interesting conversation; Alethia Alfonso provided friendship and a place to stay in London; and it was always a pleasure to run into Berkeley people at the British Library and Kew. In Kenya, the staff at the National Archives were always welcoming and enthusiastic in rendering assistance. Richard Ambani, the patron saint of researchers, can dig up the most obscure documents. Peterson Kithuka and Philip Omondi have also been of great help. The YMCA on State House Road has been my home-away-from-home in Kenya over several visits, and I am grateful to Antony, Fred, Freddy, Rose, Consolat, Priscilla, Jacky, and all the other staff for making me feel so very much at home, and to Tom for the breakfast conversations.

  • Kenya Election History 1963-2013
    KENYA ELECTION HISTORY 1963-2013 1963 Kenya Election History 1963 1963: THE PRE-INDEPENDENCE ELECTIONS These were the last elections in pre-independent Kenya and the key players were two political parties, KANU and KADU. KADU drew its support from smaller, less urbanized communities hence advocated majimboism (regionalism) as a means of protecting them. KANU had been forced to accept KADU’s proposal to incorporate a majimbo system of government after being pressured by the British government. Though KANU agreed to majimbo, it vowed to undo it after gaining political power. The majimbo constitution that was introduced in 1962 provided for a two-chamber national legislature consisting of an upper (Senate) and lower (House of Representative). The Campaign KADU allied with the African People’s Party (APP) in the campaign. KANU and APP agreed not to field candidates in seats where the other stood a better chance. The Voting Elections were marked by high voter turnout and were held in three phases. They were widely boycotted in the North Eastern Province. Violence was reported in various parts of the country; four were killed in Isiolo, teargas used in Nyanza and Nakuru, clashes between supporters in Machakos, Mombasa, Nairobi and Kitale. In the House of Representative KANU won 66 seats out of 112 and gained working majority from 4 independents and 3 from NPUA, KADU took 47 seats and APP won 8. In the Senate KANU won 19 out 38 seats while KADU won 16 seats, APP won 2 and NPUA only 1. REFERENCE: NATIONAL ELECTIONS DATA BOOK By Institute for Education in Democracy (published in 1997).

  • Tempered Radicals and Servant Leaders: Portraits of Spirited Leadership Amongst African Women Leaders
    TEMPERED RADICALS AND SERVANT LEADERS: PORTRAITS OF SPIRITED LEADERSHIP AMONGST AFRICAN WOMEN LEADERS Faith Wambura Ngunjiri A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION May 2006 Committee: Judy A. Alston, Advisor Laura B. Lengel Graduate Faculty Representative Mark A. Earley Khaula Murtadha © 2006 Faith Wambura Ngunjiri All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Judy A. Alston, Advisor There have been few studies on experiences of African women in leadership. In this study, I aimed at contributing to bridging that literature gap by adding the voices of African women leaders who live and work in or near Nairobi Kenya in East Africa. The purpose of this study was to explore, explain and seek to understand women’s leadership through the lived experiences of sixteen women leaders from Africa. The study was an exploration of how these women leaders navigated the intersecting oppressive forces emanating from gender, culture, religion, social norm stereotypes, race, marital status and age as they attempted to lead for social justice. The central biographical methodology utilized for this study was portraiture, with the express aim of celebrating and learning from the resiliency and strength of the women leaders in the face of adversities and challenges to their authority as leaders. Leadership is influence and a process of meaning making amongst people to engender commitment to common goals, expressed in a community of practice. I presented short herstories of eleven of the women leaders, and in depth portraits of the other five who best illustrated and expanded the a priori conceptual framework.

  • Who Owns the Land? Blood and Soil Issues in the Kenyan Rift Valley
    WHO OWNS THE LAND? BLOOD AND SOIL ISSUES IN THE KENYAN RIFT VALLEY PART 1: The passion with which millions of citizens valued their presidential vote in the stolen 2007 presidential elections can be reflected in scenes of the bloody post-election clashes today that engulfed Rift Valley, Nyanza, Coast, Nairobi, Western and to a less extent in other parts of the country. Nakuru was the latest epicenter of inter ethnic murders. The violent reactions to rigged elections may reflect the pain of deep and historically rooted injustices some of which predate Kenya’s independence in 1963. They are in fact motivated and exacerbated by landlessness, joblessness, and poverty believed to be heavily contributed towards by the prevailing political status quo that has dominated Kenya since independence. This is a system that has continuously perpetrated, in successive fashion, socio- economic injustices that have been seamlessly transferred from one power regime to the next. The Land issue With a fast growing population in Kenya, limited resources including land and jobs, have severely been put in extreme pressure. Responsive political operatives cognizant of this reality have appreciated the importance of incorporating progressive policies that seek to aggressively address poverty, landlessness, unequal distribution of resources and unemployment, as a matter of priority (in their party manifestoes) if any social stability is to be maintained in Kenya. Without doubt, the opposition party ODM sold an attractive campaign package that sought to address historic land injustices, unemployment, inequitable resource sharing and poverty through a radical constitutional transformation, under the framework of the people-tailored Bomas Constitution Draft.
