Description

Kenya: A History Since Independence by Charles Hornsby explores five decades of the country's journey as a functioning nation-state. From independence in 1963 to the present day, Kenya has navigated complex issues such as land, money, power, economic policy, and national autonomy. The book reveals how the decisions of its leaders have shaped the country's path in unpredictable ways, with key themes of conflict remaining. Despite stable political institutions, the nation has undergone significant change, with a nearly five-fold increase in population over the past five decades. The struggle for state resources and the exploitation of ethnicity for political purposes continue to threaten the country's existence. This book provides insight into Kenya's history, highlighting the challenges it faces today and the opportunities presented by its new constitution.
