Control and Crisis in Colonial Kenya cover

The first full length study of the development of the colonial state in Africa. Professor Berman argues that the colonial state was shaped by the contradictions between maintaining effective political control with limited coercive force and ensuring the profitable articulation of metropolitan and settler capitalism with African societies. North America: Ohio U Press; Kenya: EAEP

'Berman's eagerly-awaited book retells and reinterprets the political history of twentieth-century Kenya in an analytically rigorous manner...he has done a great deal to make possible a fruitful discussion of the colonial state and its demise.' - Frederick Cooper in African Affairs
