Diani, a coastal town on the Indian Ocean, is significantly defined
by a large European presence that has spurred economic development
and is also supported by close relationships between Kenyans and
European immigrants and tourists. Nina Berman looks carefully at
the repercussions that these economic and social interactions have
brought to life on the Kenyan coast. She explores what happens when
poorer and less powerful members of a community are forced to give
way to profit-based real estate development, what it means when
most of Diani's schools and water resources are supplied by funds
from immigrants, and what the impact of mixed marriages is on
notions of kinship and belonging as well as the economy. This
unique story about a small Kenyan town also recounts a wider tale
of opportunity, oppression, resilience, exploitation, domination,
and accommodation in a world of economic, political, and social
change.
