The book demonstrates that Kenya's postcolonial experience is marked with moments of tremendous feats amidst economic and political challenges that have on occasion strained the national fabric. While Kenya has distinguished itself as a commerce and industry hub in East Africa, the country is confronted with many challenges including job scarcity, ethnic differences nurtured by the political class, and widespread corruption. 410 0$aAfrican Histories and Modernities,$x2634-5773 606 $aAfrica?History 606 $aAfrica?Politics and government 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aAfrican History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714000 606 $aAfrican Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aInternational Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000 607 $aKenya$xHistory$y1963- 607 $aKenya$xPolitics and government$y2002- 607 $aKenya$xPolitics and government$y1963-1978 607 $aKenya$xPolitics and government$y1978-2002 615 0$aAfrica?History. 615 0$aAfrica?Politics and government. 615 0$aPolitical planning 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 14$aAfrican History. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 676 $a967.6204 702 $aKithinji$b Michael Mwenda$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMwanzia Koster$b Mickie$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRotich$b Jerono P$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254781203321 996 $aKenya After 50$92081468 997 $aUNINA
