This is a sharply observed assessment of the history of the last half century by a distinguished group of historians of Kenya. At the same time the book is a courageous reflection in the dilemmas of African nationhood.Professor B. A. Ogot says:The main purpose of the book is to show that decolonization does not only mean the transfer of alien power to sovereign nationhood; it must also entail the liberation of the worlds of spirit and culture, as well as economics and politics.The book also raises a more fundamental question, that is: How much independence is available to any state, national economy or culture in todays world? It asks how far are Africas miseries linked to the colonial past and to the process of decolonization?In particular the book raises the basic question of how far Kenya is avoidably neocolonial? And what does neocolonial dependence mean? The book answers these questions by discussing the dynamic between the politics of decolonization, the social history of class formation and the economics of dependence. The book ends with a provocative epilogue discussing the transformation of the postcolonial state from a singleparty to a multiparty system.
