Searching for a New Kenya analyses public discussion in urban
Kenya, focusing on the gatherings of citizens, both in-person and
online, where people discuss issues of common concern to shed light
on the role public discussion plays in politics and how social
media affects political movements. Through rich ethnographic study
of politics on the ground and online in Mombasa, Stephanie
Diepeveen brings a fresh perspective on the wider challenges and
dynamics of negotiating political narratives across protracted
historical debates and changing digital media. Based on a critical
revision of Hannah Arendt's ideas about action and power, this
study explores the different dynamics of public talk in practice.
It contributes to wider debates about the place and limitations of
the Western canon in relation to the study of politics elsewhere,
while also offering a nuanced view of why and how certain terms of
debate persist in Kenya, and where the potential for change lies
for public talk across changing media.
