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. 606 $aDecolonization$zKenya$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aKenya$xPolitics and government$yTo 1963 607 $aKenya$xHistory$y1895-1963 615 0$aDecolonization$xHistory 676 $a342.676202 700 $aMaxon$b Robert M$0930091 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825489003321 996 $aKenya's independence constitution$93963845 997 $aUNINA
