Riassunto

Once the major success story of a troubled continuent, Kenya came in the early 1990s to be ragarded as its fallen star. This book challenges such images of reversal and the analytical polarities which sustain them, in a multi-scale and multi-disciplinary exploration of the culture of modern Kenyan politics.
