Constitution-Making: Uhuru na Majimbo; Notes; Bibliography; IndexKenya's Independence Constitution, by Robert M. Maxon, details the evolution of Kenya's constitution during the final stage of decolonization. Starting with the close of the first Lancaster House conference of 1960, Maxon illuminates the many influences that shaped Kenya's constitution-making. It concludes in 1963, coinciding with the end of empire, when political ethnicity dominated discourse. While the self-government constitution provided for majimbo, or federal constitution, the winning party in the 1963 elections changed the constitution such that federalism's life expectancy was brief.DecolonizationKenyaHistory20th centuryKenyaPolitics and governmentTo 1963KenyaHistory1895-1963DecolonizationHistory342.676202Maxon Robert M930091MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825489003321Kenya's independence constitution3963845UNINA
