This book provides a richly detailed ethnography of Kenyan khat,
tracing some of the many national and transnational trajectories
this controversial stimulant takes from its centre of production in
the Nyambene Hills to consumers in Kenya and throughout the world.
The author, guided by his friend and khat connoisseur M'Mucheke,
draws out the full economic, social and cultural significance of
the substance, situating this significance within current debates
on the legality of khat and the global rhetoric of the 'war on
drugs'. The work explores how networks of Kenyan khat bring people
of diverse backgrounds together in sometimes uneasy relationships,
and highlights the vast cluster of meanings this remarkable
commodity has accrued in its 'social life'.
