Western-Educated Elites in Kenya, 1900-1963 - The African American Factor (Hardcover, New)

Western-Educated Elites in Kenya critically examines the emergence of American-educated Kenyan elites (Asomi), their role in the nationalist movement and their eventual 'Africanization' of the Kenyan civil and private sectors. This valuable book provides a historical perspective on the development of western-educated Kenyans, depicting the commonalities that existed between Africans and African-Americans during their fights for independence and equality. The key areas covered include: Islamic education; missionary education; government education; and higher education of Kenyan students in the United States. This is the ideal text for advanced undergraduates, graduated students, and historians, who already possess a general knowledge about Kenyan history, but want a deeper understanding of the global influence of the Pan-African movement in the first half of the twentieth century.
