Similarly, I would like to thank the French Embassy in Kenya through Fogel Severine and Sarah Ayito for their support in organizing for my visa and ensuring that everything was in place for me. I would like to appreciate the scholarly input of my tireless supervisors Professor Mildred Ndeda and Professor Christian Thibon both of whom have been of much scholarly importance. I would also like to thank Dr. Herve Maupeu for the assistance he offered me any time I was planning to go to France for my stays. For my thesis to take this shape, many people have made immense contributions. Without my numerous respondents, I would not have had data for this study. I would also like to thank Dr. P. Wekesa and Dr. Susan Owino for their guidance, which contributed to the success of this work. I cannot forget my postgraduate colleagues in France, Dr. David Okello, Dr. Joyce Kaguta, Mr. Nyachoti, Mr. Misati Joseph, Miss Kristin Abong’o and Mr. Fabian Kigadye from Tanzania who shared their views with me and consoled me when the going got tough at some point. My sincere thanks also go to the entire staff of Center d'études et de recherches sur les pays d'Afrique orientale (CREPAO)- France for their moral support during my studies and moreso the librarian. My sincere thanks also go to CAMPUS France, which ensured that my stay in France was as comfortable as possible. On the same note, I would like to thank Prof. Elizabeth Vignatti for making it possible for me to read and photocopy materials on her account at the LAM-Bordeaux III library in France. I would like to acknowledge my dad for giving me the opportunity to pursue my studies. I also acknowledge the encouragement, support and sacrifice given to me by my sisters and brothers. I v am indebted to Kenyans living in Pau-France such as Grace, Pierre, Eunice and Maureen for their moral support, which enabled me to stay in Pau, France as I pursued my studies. The social life that Eunice exposed us to allowed me to feel so much at home away from home. I would also like to thank IRD France through Dr. Valerie Golaz and Dr. Claire Medard for availing a laptop for me that made the compilation, typing and editing of my work easier. Omondi, P. of the Kenya National Archives was a great support. Last but not least, I would like to thank my longtime friend and wife Jane Wekhomba for taking good care of our children while I was away in France. It is impossible to name all the people that gave me support; but to all of them I owe my greatest appreciation. vi TABLE OF CONTENT DECLARATION ..................................................................................................................... ii DEDICATION ........................................................................................................................ iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................... iv GLOSSARY OF LUO AND ASIAN TERMS ........................................................................ x LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ................................................................................................ xi CHAPTER ONE .................................................................................................................... 1 INDIAN DIASPORIC COMMUNITY: METHODOLOGY, IDENTITY, PROBLEMATIQUE AND HISTORY ................................................................................ 1 1.1 Conceptualizing Indian Diasporic Communities within the Global and Local Context ... 1 1.2 Context of the Problem;

A Social History of Private Members’ Clubs in Colonial Kenya This thesis explores the institutional legacy of colonialism through the history of private members clubs in Kenya. In this colony, clubs developed as institutions which were crucial in assimilating Europeans to a race-based, ruling community. Funded and managed by a settler elite of British aristocrats and officers, clubs institutionalized European unity. This was fostered by the rivalry of Asian migrants, whose claims for respectability and equal rights accelerated settlers' cohesion along both political and cultural lines. Thanks to a very bureaucratic apparatus, clubs smoothed European class differences; they fostered a peculiar style of sociability, unique to the colonial context. Clubs were seen by Europeans as institutions which epitomized the virtues of British civilization against native customs. In the mid-1940s, a group of European liberals thought that opening a multi-racial club in Nairobi would expose educated Africans to the refinements of such sociability.

  • 'Mau Mau' and Colonialism in Kenya
    University of Wisconsin Department of History Fall2001-02 History 861 Thomas Spear 3:30-5:30 Thursday 3211/5101 Humanities 5245 Humanities 263-1807/1784 office hours: Tues 3:30-4:30 tspear@facstaff. wisc.edu 'Mau Mau' and Colonialism in Kenya The seminar will explore the nature of colonialism in Kenya as revealed in the outbreak of the 'Mau Mau' movement. There are two aspects to the problem: one historiographical and the other historical. 'Mau Mau' has generated a huge literature, and it remains a contentious issue in both historical and popular thought. In spite of abundant controversy, however, much of the history remains obscure. We will thus start by surveying and analyzing the literature before engaging in individual research on select historical topics. Requirements: Students will be expected to write two major papers during the course of the seminar: the first a critical review of the literature on one of the topics listed for weeks 2-9, and the second a research paper on a select aspect of the overall topic. In each case, students should distribute copies oftheir paper to the other seminar participants (with two copies to me) by Tuesday noon preceding the relevant class. Research papers will first be presented in class and then revised for final submission at the end of the semester. Students will also be expected to write and present a critique of one of their colleagues' research papers during weeks 12-14. Readings: All required reading is available on reserve at H. C. White. The following are also available at the University Bookstore if you wish to buy them: Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Matigari W.

  • African Journal of Co-Operative Development and Technology ASSESSMENT of ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION and WATER QUALITY in SOUTHERN
    African Journal of Co-operative Development and Technology ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND WATER QUALITY IN SOUTHERN VIHIGA HILLS OBOKA A. Wycliffe1 & OTHOO O. Calvince2 1The Co-operative University of Kenya, School of Cooperatives and Community Development, P.O. Box 24814- 00502 Karen – Nairobi, Kenya, Email: [email protected], or 2The Co-operative University of Kenya, School of Cooperatives and Community Development, P.O. Box 24814- 00502 Karen – Nairobi, Kenya, Email: [email protected] Abstract Southern Vihiga hills present a case of an intriguing history of land degradation in Kenya that has over the years defied all efforts to address. In 1957, as a measure to curb environmental degradation in southern Vihiga, the colonial government through the legal notice number 266 of the Kenya gazette supplement number 28 established Maragoli Hills Forest without the acceptance by the local communities. The forest was over time degraded, and completely destroyed in 1990s. Efforts to rehabilitate the forest have continually been frustrated by the local community. The study set out to determine the extent of environmental degradation; and establish water quality in streams originating southern Vihiga hills. Data for the study was collected using GPS surveys; photography; high temporal resolution satellite imagery; and interviews. Data on environmental degradation was analyzed through ArcGIS 10.3.1. Analysis of biological and physiochemical parameters of water was undertaken at the government chemist in Kisumu. The study found total loss of forest cover on Edibwongo Hill (Maragoli forest), with extensive areas of bare surfaces, and gulleys. The study also found very high population of Coliform and E.Coli in water in all the three streams sampled in both dry and wet seasons; and very high turbidity; water color; and iron (Fe) concentrations in water from the sampled streams.

URL : http:// journals.openedition.org/eastafrica/340 Les Cahiers d’Afrique de l’Est / The East African Review Les Cahiers d’Afrique de l’Est Evolution of Sheng during the Last Decade Aurélia Ferrari Introduction Sheng, popularly deined as an acronym for “Swahili-English slang” (Mazrui, 1995), emerged in the 1960s in the multicultural environment of Nairobi. It is an urban language which combines mainly Kiswahili and English but also other Kenyan languages such as Kikuyu, Luyha, Dholuo and Kikamba. Sheng is characterized by an important linguistic lexibility. It does not have an oficial status even if it widelyis spoken, especially by the youth. Originally used as a vehicular language between people from different regions, it is becoming a vernacular language, some people born in the 1980s or later having Sheng as their irst language. Sheng is not a unique linguistic phenomenon in Africa. In the last ifty years, urbanization and globalization have prompted the emergence of new urban linguistic codes. Such codes are based on multilingual speech and characterized by unstable vocabulary.

In an urbanized world, countries are apt to be judged according to their degree of urbanization. A glance at the map shows that the under-developed countries are also, by and large, rural. Cities have long existed in Africa, of course. From the ancient trade and cultural centers of Carthage and Alexandria to the mediaeval sultanates of East Africa, urban life has long existed in some degree or another. Yet none of these cities changed significantly the rural character of the African hinterland. Today the city needs to be more than the occasional market place, the seat of political authority, and a haven for the literati. It remains these of course, but it is much more. It must be the industrial and economic wellspring of a large area, perhaps of a nation. The city has become the concomitant of industrialization and industrialization the concomitant 1 2 of the revolution of rising expectations. African cities today are largely the products of colonial enterprise but are equally the measure of their country's progress. The city is witness everywhere to the acute personal, familial, and social upheavals of society in the process of urbanization.
