Decolonization and the State in Kenya (Hardcover)

In this book the author examines the efforts of the colonial regime
to shape the process of decolonization in Kenya from the end of
World War II until independence in 1963, focusing on the conflict
between the state's two imperatives-promoting economic development
and establishing and maintaining control. Dr. Gordon reviews the
different political strategies devised by senior colonial officials
in response to the growing socioeconomic and political tensions
within Kenya and to the evolving guidelines emanating from London.
He looks at how these strategic assumptions affected the policies
the colonial regime attempted to implement in the areas of land and
agriculture, labor and industrial relations, and the development of
African trade. He challenges the view that the colonial regime
effectively dominated and determined the direction of
decolonization and concludes by relating the findings of the Kenyan
case to wider debates about the meaning of decolonization in
Africa.
