  • Christian Perceptions of Islam in Kenya
    CHRISTIAN PERCEPTIONS OF ISLAM IN KENYA: AS EXPRESSED IN WRITTEN SOURCES FROM 1998 TO 2010 by MICHAEL DENNIS BRISLEN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham July 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

The thesis approaches the problem by examining various Christian writings. Substantial and representative Christian literature was found in the form of scholarly writing, produced by Kenyan mainline Christians, and in the form of popular literature, produced by Kenyan Neo- Pentecostals. The historiography of Islam entering into Kenya; and a historical look at Christian- Muslim relations in Kenya, with particularly an examination of the recent debate over the inclusion of kadhi courts in the constitution, were also examined. The combination of the historical and the literary approach provides breadth into the examination of how Christians in Kenya perceive Islam and Muslims. After an analysis of the history and the texts, several themes that emerge from this analysis are examined from two perspectives.

  • Literature Review on Poverty by Discussing Its Historical Context and Theoretical Perspectives
    Title Tourism, Poverty and Poverty Reduction in Msambweni District, Kenya Name Davis Wekesa Barasa This is a digitised version of a dissertation submitted to the University of Bedfordshire. It is available to view only. This item is subject to copyright. TOURISM, POVERTY AND POVERTY REDUCTION IN MSAMBWENI DISTRICT, KENYA by Davis Wekesa Barasa A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Bedfordshire June 2010 ii TOURISM, POVERTY AND POVERTY REDUCTION IN MSAMBWENI DISTRICT, KENYA D.W. BARASA ABSTRACT This thesis examines the potential of tourism’s contribution to poverty reduction as perceived by local people in Msambweni district in Kenya. Whilst many studies in tourism have focused mainly on the macro-economic impacts of tourism in developing countries, there is little empirical work on understanding its effects upon poverty reduction. Furthermore, researches on how the poor or local people define poverty are also at their embryonic stage. The research utilises multiple qualitative methods and participatory approaches including focus group discussions and meetings. Key objectives of the research are: to critically analyse how poverty is conceptualised by local people; to identify the barriers to participation in the tourism industry and development process; and make recommendations on how to overcome them. The thesis reviews the theoretical framework of poverty within the discourse of development studies. Contrary to the conventional economic definition of poverty, poor people in Msambweni view it as a multidimensional concept.
