Description
Book SynopsisThis work examines the history of colonial administration and economic development policy in Kenya during the early colonial period of 1909-1912. Abdullahi Sara provides analysis of the existing administration and economic condition and also possible courses of action that can be taken to remedy Kenya's administrative and economic predicaments. Kenya at a Crossroads serves as a detailed source of information for college and university students, professors, and researchers in imperial and colonial studies as well as in the areas of history, economy, and administration.
Trade ReviewKenya at a Crossroads is a thoroughly researched book which provides a detailed and provocative analysis of the administration of Governor Sir Percy Girouard. This administration marked one of several turning points in the history of colonial Kenya, and this study of a failed governorship will be of interest to specialists and others interested in Kenyan history and British rule in twentieth century Africa. -- Robert Maxon, West Virginia University
