University of Kyoto, Japan. A Thesis submitted in fulfullment of the requrements for the degree of Master of Arts (SOCIOLOGY) in the University of Nairobi. 1984 . (i) D K C L A R A T I 0 N This Thesis is my original work and had not been presented for a degree in any other University Motoji MATSUDA This Thesis has been submitted for examination with our approval as University Supervisors. DR. B.E. KIPKORIR Former Director of Institute of African Studies . UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI. DR. E. MBOlRyCU DEPARTMENT OF S(3CI0L0GY UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI . (ii) Abstract African urban studies of Anthropology have their origin in one ideal model, the dyachronic model. This model assumes that African urbanization can be regarded as a gradual process of detribali- zation in consequence of direct contact with heterogeneous and powerful Western Cultures. In the 1950's, however, members of Rhodes-Livingstone School advocated a new approach for African urban studies. They criticized the detribalization model and put forward the situational analysis which emphasized synchronic social relations. This approach had a decided superiority because it high­ lighted the migrant's personal strategy in situafional selection. It cannot, however, explain the retribalization phenomenon which prevails in the most of African larger cities today. It cannot resolve the paradox of retaining tribal relations in a strikingly urban context. There are several points of the situational analysis that requires to be modified.

  • The Challenges of Reinvigorating Democracy Through Visual Art in 21St Century Nairobi
    The challenges of reinvigorating democracy through visual art in 21st century Nairobi Craig Campbell Halliday 30 September 2019 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania & the Americas School of Art, Media and American Studies University of East Anglia, Norwich This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract This study examines the potential for contemporary visual art to reinvigorate democracy in 21st century Nairobi, Kenya, through an interdisciplinary investigation. The new millennium ushered in fresh hope for democratisation in the postcolonial East African country. In 2002, Daniel arap Moi’s 24 years of authoritarian rule ended. The opposition were victorious at the ballot box, instilling a belief amongst the electorate that formal political processes could bring change. However, the post-election violence of 2007/8 shattered such convictions. But, from this election result came a progressive Constitution and with it possibilities for creating change. These momentous events underscore Kenya’s topsy-turvy path towards democracy – a path whose trajectory is charted in the experience of ordinary Kenyans who believe in democracy’s value and their right to participate in politics and civil life. Artists, too, have been at the forefront of this ongoing struggle. This study draws on empirical research to demonstrate contemporary visual art’s capacity to expand ways of practising, experiencing and understanding democracy.

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.

Gumbo Advisor: Bruce Bauer ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: AN ADVENTIST MISSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO TRADITIONAL BELIEFS IN KENYA Name of researcher: Festus Felix Gumbo Name and degree of faculty advisor: Bruce L. 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.

  • Iron Working in the Upper Tana Valley,Kenya,” in G.Pwiti and R.Soper,Aspects of African Archeology.Harare:University of Zimbabwe Publications
    A Contribution To The Peopling And Environmental Changes In The Upper Tana River Basin (Kenya) After The Introduction Of Farming And Iron: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach ISSN 2319-9725 Dr. Lazarus Ngari Department Of History, Archaeology And Political Studies Kenyatta University P.O Box 43844-Oo100 Nairobi Abstract: Archaeology always seems an exciting and romantic subject when you read about the Magnificent tombs of ancient Egypt and early humans sites in Eastern Africa. Most archaeological sites are less spectacular but that does not make them less fascinating to archaeologist, historians and scientists. This paper covers archeological, linguistic, environmental, historical and other sources of data which have shaped interpretation of the expansion of Bantu speaking people into the Upper Tana River Basin(Kenya) and the impacts of this expansion. Today there are new issues and approaches, in data management and presentation such as new forms of spatial analysis which I integrate in this paper. Results of this research indicate that the peopling of this region by Bantu speech communities predates the expansion of historical communities occupying this region.This has had a number of implications which have continued to generate different debates on who, when and how the Central Kenya was occupied in the last two millennium.
