This book provides an overview of the troubled process of nation- building in post-colonial Kenya. Despite distinctive features of the Moi and Kenyatta regimes, late colonial period continuity has been the dominant theme. Different aspects of this continuity are highlighted: the strength of the provincial administration, the central role of ethnicity in shaping political competition, the understanding of the state as a resource, and the ultimately incompatible beliefs held by different communities regarding how power can be legitimately exercised.
