Kenya After 50 cover

"The themes covered in the two volumes are critical in igniting a wider conversation and debate on the issues that have plagued postcolonial Kenya especially mediocre leadership, mismanagement of national resources, and corruption."Mary Njeri Kinyanjui PhD. Senior Research Fellow Institute for Development Studies, University of Nairobi, Nairobi "[These volumes] perhaps the most well documented evidence that Kenya Scholars and Studies Association (KESSA) has created a market place away from home where ideas regarding international research and development are exchanged."Faith Maina, Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, Texas Tech University, USA and KESSA regional representative, Southwest USA "By drawing on the expertise of a wide multidisciplinary team of contributors, the two volumes present us with a deeply informative examination of the country's history and memories, policies and politics, education, technology, and road safety policy, as well as contextualizing its sports and gender scene in the early twenty-first century."-Kefa M. Otiso, President, Kenya Scholars and Studies Association, USA

“These two volumes in the "African Histories and Modernities" series, designed to provide a voice for African scholarship, do just that. … This important book makes it clear that the future is still up for grabs, but that the current generation of scholars owns the past. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (W. Arens, Choice, Vol. 54 (3), November, 2016)
