Recenzii

“Kenya After 50 is a collection of contemplative essays that examine the accomplishments Kenya continues to make and the challenges it faces five decades after achievement of independence in 1963. … this book provides a broad perspective on select yet relevant topics covering Kenya’s journey since independence. It serves as an important reference point for anyone interested not just in the negatives or non-accomplishments but also in often undocumented milestones that can inform future action pathways.” (Sheila N. Maingi, African Studies Quarterly, Vol. 17 (4), February, 2017)
