Time and title deeds in post-reform agrarian Kenya
The 'title deed fix' - resurgent globally since the 1990s - is part of a wave of market-led agrarian reforms whose outcomes have been mixed. Kenya was the first African country to experiment - starting six decades ago and continuing today - with state-mandated formal land registration and private titling. Today it is among a handful to begin a transition to a digitized land registry. Behind both paper and electronic land documents, however, is a …
Afterword
How is violence naturalised, concealed, or challenged in everyday life? Contributors to this special issue provide vital insights into the temporalities, contradictions, emergent political subjectivities, and moral imaginaries of an unstable liberal modernity - thereby helping us to reimagine what might at first seem unprecedented or surreal about the present
Satire, social media, and cultures of resistance
Retooled by social media and new communication technologies, the cultural politics of dissent in Kenya has become bolder and more open since the return of multi-party politics in the early 1990s. Tracing such changes, this chapter highlights lively domains of creative expression that disrupts political messages and unmasks political power in ways that upstage dominant news media. Satire, popular music, graffiti art, and cartoons capture rulers’ e…
Activism
As the core element of social movements, activism attracts attention not only from anthropologists but also from political scientists, sociologists, social psychologists, performance studies scholars, and historians. The anthropology of activism—a vibrant scholarly domain—offers insights into the lived experiences of activists, including the friction or constraints that protesters encounter; the formation of discursive communities and counterpubl…

Anthropological publics, public anthropology
Based on a transcript from the AAA 2016 roundtable on "anthropological publics, public anthropology," organized by Sindre Bangstad, held at the AAA Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on November 18, 2016, and edited, referenced, and footnoted by Sindre Bangstad, this forum explores prominent anthropologists' experiences of doing "public anthropology," asks what kind of structural impediments there are in our time to the engagement of wider…
Introduction
Global narratives about the 2016 US presidential election and the UK referendum highlight rupture-liberal democracy in crisis. Yet some observers interpret this moment to be business as usual writ large-a display of racial, class, and gender injustices that have long betrayed democratic ideals. Contributors to this special AE Forum explore both perspectives as they probe the disorientation many feel and address issues such as the politics of lyin…
Public Anthropology in 2015
In this review essay, I focus on how anthropologists have addressed salient public issues such as the European refugee and migrant crisis, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the attack on the Paris office of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Public anthropology relies on slow ethnography and fast responses to breaking news stories. It is theoretically informed but reaches out to audiences beyond the academy. Drawing on proliferating anthrop…

Public anthropology and the financial crisis (Respond to this article at http
When anthropologists write about finance and the economy, their publications seldom reach audiences as wide as those of economists or journalists. Is there a space for anthropologists in public debates about our era's acute economic dilemmas? The short answer should be yes, partly because anthropologists are trained to probe social silences and make the invisible visible, and because we reject the pitfalls of Econ 101, oversimplifications that pe…

Satire and Dissent in the Age of Billionaires
Political satire and irony flourish especially when other forms of political critique are curtailed, or when conventional political categories, modes of expression, and organization seem inadequate—an apt description, many would argue, of early twenty-first-century America. This article explores how satirical political activists who call themselves the Billionaires, along with Comedy Central's "fake news" stars Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, en…
WatchingThe Daily Showin Kenya
Global distribution of a popular American television programme – Jon Stewart's Daily Show – offers a rare opportunity to examine transnational contingencies of meaning in political satire. Drawing on focus group discussions in Kenya, this analysis shows how some East Africans appropriated and reinterpreted – indeed unexpectedly subverted – The Daily Show's political content, deriving from it insights that Stewart himself might have found surprisi…

The Culture of Politics in Modern Kenya
Once the major success story of a troubled continent, by the early 1990s Kenya came to be regarded as its fallen star. This book challenges such images of reversal and the analytical polarities which sustain them. Based on several years of research in Kenya, the analysis ranges from telescopic to microscopic fields of vision - from national political culture, oratory, and the staging of politics, to everyday struggles for livelihood among people …
Land tenure and agrarian change in Kenya
Opening ParagraphThis article examines the relationship of formal and informal land-tenure systems to processes of agrarian change. Although it is often assumed that formal legal recognition of private rights in land can help to transform agriculture, causal links between particular tenure systems and agrarian processes are not easily demonstrated. It is difficult to separate the effects of land tenure from those of a host of other influences on …
