Kenya, a land of safaris, wild animals, and Maasai warriors,
perfectly represents Africa for many Westerners. This peerless
single-source book presents the contemporary reality of life in
Kenya, an important East-African nation that has served as a
crossroads for peoples and cultures from Africa, the Middle East,
and East Asia for centuries. As such, it is a land rich in cultural
and ethnic diversity, where unique and dynamic traditions blend
with modern influences. Students and general readers will be
engrossed in narrative overviews highlighting Kenyan history, as
well as the beliefs, vibrant cultural expressions, and various
lifestyles and roles of the Kenyan population. A chronology,
glossary, and numerous photos enhance the narrative. Kenya today
struggles with nation building. Its society comprises the haves and
the have-nots and faces the challenges of the trend toward
urbanization, with its attendant disruption of traditional social
structures. For Kenyans, the preserving of traditional cultures is
as important as making the statement that Kenya is a modern nation.
Chapters on the land, people, and history; religion and worldview;
literature, film, and media; art and architecture; cuisine and
traditional dress; gender roles, marriage, and family; and social
customs and lifestyle are up to date and written by a country
expert. A chronology, glossary, and numerous photos enhance the
narrative.
