    Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts David P. Bresnahan June 2010 © 2010 David P. Bresnahan. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History by DAVID P. BRESNAHAN has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Nicholas M. Creary Assistant Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BRESNAHAN, DAVID P., M.A., June 2010, History Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History (156 pp.) Director of Thesis: Nicholas M. Creary This thesis explores the social, political, and symbolic roles of the Mijikenda kayas in the Coast Province of Kenya. The kayas, which exist today as sacred grove forests, are the original homesteads of the Mijikenda and the organizational units from which the symbolic authority and esoteric knowledge of the Mijikenda elders are derived. As a result, I conceptualize kayas as the physical space of the forests, but also complex networks of political, metaphysical, and symbolic power. While the kaya forests and their associated institutions have often been framed as cultural relics, I use this lens to illustrate how the position of the kayas in Mijikenda life has influenced broader social and political developments. Three main themes are developed: the first theme addresses how the kayas were used in different capacities to create space from the encroachment of colonial rule.

  • CONFLICT SNAPSHOT Kenya December 2020 Introduction
    Funded by the European Union CONFLICT SNAPSHOT Kenya December 2020 Introduction Kenya is a large culturally and ethnic diverse country, with over 40 different ethnic groups and numerous superimposed conflicts. Ethnic tensions and clashes coupled with political instability that manifests during the election period have been on the rise in the recent past. Recurrent drought that pushes herders into farmlands in search of pasture has led to violent clashes between herders and farmers in Garissa and Tana River counties. Ethnic group affiliation and highly centralised ethnopolitics are the primary identity of many Kenyans, especially during periods of turmoil. According to the Conflict Analysis of Kenya report, Kenyan Muslims have been marginalised within the Kenyan state and feel like they are treated as second-rate citizens. Data collection and analysis Data for the conflict snapshot COVID-19 series in Kenya was airoi gathered from 21-25 September in the following target zones: arissa This coincided with a period of relative calm in terms of ana iver COVID-19 caseloads and containment measures in Kenya, Kilifi as it fell in between the first and second wave of outbreaks omasa and many people believed there would soon be a return to normalcy. This perception may have influenced certain survey wale responses and we expect to see changes in this in the next round of snapshot reports. This report was prepared by the Search for Common Ground Kenya team, with support from Search’s COVID-19 Response Programming Team and Institutional Learning Team. For more information on the data collection methodology and tools used by Search for Common Ground for this research, click here.

  • Kenya – National Report 2019
    MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING CMS/IOSEA/MOS8/Inf.7.1.e ON THE CONSERVATION AND 28 August 2019 MANAGEMENT OF MARINE TURTLES AND THEIR HABITATS OF THE INDIAN Original: English OCEAN AND SOUTH-EAST ASIA 8TH MEETING OF THE SIGNATORY STATES Da Nang, Viet Nam, 21-25 October 2019 Agenda Item 9.1 KENYA – NATIONAL REPORT 2019 (Prepared by Kenya) IOSEA MARINE TURTLES MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - NATIONAL REPORTING 2019 IOSEA Marine Turtles MoU - National Reports The purpose of completing the national report is to provide information on your country’s implementation of the IOSEA Marine Turtle MoU including, as far as possible, contributions of cooperating non-governmental partners. Implementation will be assessed in terms of the six objectives of the Conservation and Management Plan (CMP). The online questionnaire is divided into these six main objectives, and asks specific questions in relation to the activities that need to be carried out to fulfil those objectives. Please answer all questions as fully and as accurately as possible. It may seem time-consuming, but once you have completed the first report, the next time will be much easier because you can simply revise your existing report online. Comprehensive responses to the questions posed in Section 1.4 should satisfy many of the reporting requirements of the 2004 FAO Guidelines to Reduce Sea Turtle Mortality in Fishing Operations, thereby avoiding duplication of effort. Description text is provided below some of the questions to explain what information needs to be provided. Text boxes can be expanded to accommodate longer answers or to explain and provide additional information, beyond what is requested.

  • The Geomorphology of Southeast Kenya
    THE GEOMORPHOLOGY OF SOUTHEAST KENYA A. P. Oosterom STELLINGEN 1. Bij de vorming van de uitgestrekte planatievlakken in Oost-Kenia heeft marine en lacustrine abrasie een belangrijke rol gespeeld. Dit proefschrift. 2. De schaarste aan fossielen van hominiden in Oost-Afrika over de periode van ongeveer 500 000 tot 50 000 jaar BP is schijnbaar. 3. Voor de toepassing van geografische informatiesystemen op bedrijfsniveau in reliefrijke gebieden is het essentieel om programmatuur te ontwikkelen die identificatie van de geologische en geomorfologische positie van een gekozen punt mogelijk maakt. 4. De klink van het Basis- en het Hollandveen is er medeverantwoordelijk voor dat er in Nederland geen aanwijzingen worden gevonden voor hoge holocene zeestanden. 5. De geringschatting van het belang van onderwijs en onderzoek in de geologie en geomorfologie aan de Landbouwuniversiteit te Wageningen is een uiting van onwetenschappelijk doe-het-zelf-denken. 6. Zolang de programmatuur voor het opnemen, opslaan en opvragen van kaarteringsgegevens minder flexibel is dan een veldboekje staat het gebruik van handterminals en veldcomputers vernieuwing in de weg. 7. De betrouwbaarheidsgrens van 25 000 jaar voor de datering van organische carbqnaten met behulp van de 14C-methode is te hoog.. Dit proefschrift. 8. Het woord automatisering wekt onjuiste verwachtingen als het gaat om de invoering en het gebruik van computers. 9. Kerkelijke liedboeken behoren losbladig te zijn. 10. De stelligheid waarmee waarheden worden verdedigd is eerder een maat voor onkunde dan voor inzicht. Stellingen behorende bij het proefschrift: The Geomorphology of Southeast Kenya. A.P. Oosterom Wageningen, 20 april 1988 THE GEOMORPHOLOGY OF SOUTHEAST KENYA Promotoren: Dr.

  • The Drowned Valleys on the Coast of Kenya
    THE DROWNED VALLEYS ON THE COAST OF KENYA. By H. L. SIKES, B.A., B.E., H.INST. C.E., F.G.S. In his report on the Geology of the East Africa Protectorate .(Col. Rep. Misc. No. 45, Cd. 3828, London, 1908), Mr. H. B. Maufe pomted out that the tidal creeks on the coast of Kenya, the rock floors of which are far below sea level, originated as land valleys, which are now •• drowned." He also indicated that the sub-aerial erosion which produced or rejuvenated these valleys must have taken .place subse• quent to the formation of the raised coral reefs of Pleistocene age which form the existing coastal strip including most of Mombasa Island. Although much is still obscure, light has been thrown in recent years on the oscillations of relative level between sea and land on .the .East African coast. Amongst the writings which bear on this matter are Stockley's report on the" Geology of the Zanzibar Protec• tora.te " (London, 1928) with the associated report on the" Palaeon• tology of the Zanzibar Protectorate " by various specialists (London, 1927), Monograph No. IV of the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow Univer• sity, containing various reports on geological collections from the coast lands of Kenya Colony made by Miss McKinnon W0011, and various papers and other publications recording the results of research work in other parts of the world on the relative level of land and sea during Quaternary times, the factors influencing coral growth, the solution of limestones by sea water and other phenomena. Borings carried out from time to time for the purpose of obtaining information relating to foundations for bridges and other structures, and to find water, have yielded evidence which is not without significance in the consideration of the history of these submerged valleys.
