Censorship as Negotiation
This article is concerned with the colonial state as a producer, consumer, and regulator of print. Propaganda and censorship may represent two extremes in the management of a colonial public sphere. Censorship was an interactive and negotiated process—one whose successful management was in the interest of both the censoring agents and those censored. One might think that censorship is a measure taken in order for communication to break down. If w…
Amaoti and Pumwani
Based on the authors’ parallel projects of research and fieldwork in urban informal settlements in Durban and Nairobi, the article uses comparison to bring out similarities and differences in the dynamics of informality in a South African and Kenyan setting. The article examines three dimensions of informality – the informal economy, informal housing and informal politics – as they play into the lives of youth, popular culture, moral debate, and …

Formations of Gender, Conflict and Violence and the New Security Agenda
In recent years, the nexus of gender, conflict and violence has become a frequent object of feminist research. This research has been significant for a number of reasons. It has documented the exclusion of women in the processes following war or violent conflicts, i.e. in peace-building processes, and demonstrated that this is the norm. It has also pointed out that conflict and war, security operations and security precautions are practices and p…
Print, Newspapers and Audiences in Colonial Kenya
The article addresses African and Indian newspaper networks in Kenya in the late 1940s in an Indian Ocean perspective. Newspapers were important parts of a printing culture that was sustained by Indian and African nationalist politics and economic enterprise. In this period new intermediary groups of African and Indian entrepreneurs, activists and publicists, collaborating around newspaper production, captured fairly large and significant non-Eur…
Introduction
The emergence of the Indian Ocean region as an important geo-political arena is being studied across a range of disciplines. Yet while the Indian Ocean has figured in Swahili studies and analyses of East and Southern African diasporic communities, it has remained outside the mainstream of African Studies. This introduction provides an overview of emerging trends in the rich field of Indian Ocean studies and draws out their implications for schola…

Mungiki, Vernacular Organization and Political Society in Kenya
This article uses the concept of 'political society' as unfolded by the 'subaltern studies' in India to shed new light on present-day political actors and democratic transitions in Africa. It discusses the political practices and discursive terrains of organizations within 'really existing' civil society that are based on identities and regarded as outside legitimate civil society. It looks at politics from below, taking the example of the 2007 e…
Writing for Kenya
Henry Muoria (1914-97), self-taught journalist and pamphleteer, helped to inspire Kenya's nationalisms before Mau Mau. The pamphlets reproduced here, in Gikuyu and English, contrast his own originality with the conservatism of Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first President. The contributing editors introduce Muoria's political context, tell how three remarkable women sustained his families' life; and remember him as father. Courageous intellectual, polit…

Writing, self‐realization and community
This paper traces the career of the Kenyan publicist and intellectual, Henry Muoria (1914–1997). Muoria was an active journalist, a friend and press secretary of Kenya's future president Jomo Kenyatta and, from 1945 to 1952, the editor of a nationalist newspaper Mumenyereri, written in Gikuyu, one of Kenya's major languages. In October 1952, when the British declared the Emergency in Kenya in order to quell the Mau Mau rebellion, Muoria was visit…

Popular Culture, Gender Relations and the Democratization of Everyday Life in Kenya
The article deals with young women's and men's appropriation of local and global popular culture in a poor Nairobi neighbourhood. Local media articulate Christian ideals of marriage and gender relations, ideals that in the West would be considered conservative. In a Kenyan context, the ideals support the transformation of family systems, based on large collectivities and a clear separation of functions between generations and genders, into 'moder…

Gender, Ethnicity and Popular Culture in Kenya
Joe , the sweetest reading in Africa
For urban Africans an ordinary, comfortable everyday life, free of misery and harassment is the adventure. The opposite is the norm. The implications of this state of affairs for popular literature are that what is regarded and dismissed as fairly drab descriptive realism in highly developed countries, is fantastic in an African context. Many popular novels from Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria may best be seen as realistic fantasies, meticulously des…
