The Partnership: The Horse-Rider Relationship in Eventing
This article examines the dimensions of a partnership in the sport of eventing. Riders use the term 'partnership' to describe the kind of relationship they strive for with their horses. Compatibility as well as mutual respect, trust, confidence, and close communication are all essential components. Although the focus is on the processes involved in building partnerships, their weakening and/or breakdown is, to a lesser extent, explored since the …
Kikuyu women and the Harry Thuku disturbances: Some Uniformities of Female Militancy
Opening ParagraphAfrican men, like men everywhere, have dominated the public sphere, holding the vast majority of official positions of power and authority. In pre-colonial African societies women were formally subordinate to male authority and male dominance was buttressed by an ideology of male superiority and a status system where women showed deference to men. But formal systems, ideologies and codes of etiquette are not realities. In some so…
Rural Rebelsand colonial Kenya: The argument against Buijtenhuijs's re-analysis
Robert Buijtenhuijs's critique of my bookRural Rebels(1977) is interesting because it highlights serious flaws that can be made in critical analysis, among them the 'I think the writer means' fallacy, a false dichotomy, reductionism and a disregard for the quality of the data. Since space limitations prevent me from replying to all of Buijtenhuijs's criticisms (his critique is three times longer than my permitted reply) I will limit myself to the…

Lofty Visions and Militant Action: A Reply to Jan de Wolf
I am hardpressed to know where to begin in discussing Jan de Wolf's misleading and inaccurate critique of my book, Rural Rebels.' Since space prevents me from replying to all of de Wolf's criticisms I will address myself to five major ones he has raised: the millenarian-protest dichotomy. Dini ya Msambwa's (DyM) alleged vitality in postcolonial Kenya as a healing cult, the interpretation of its name, violence and DyM, and my alleged model of poli…
Rural Rebels: A Study of Two Protest Movements in Kenya
Towards a General Explanation of Protest Movements in Colonial Kenya
In my book, Rural Rebels, I examined the nature of two protest movements in Kenya and discussed their determinants. Here I will attempt a more general explanation of protest movements in colonial Kenya addressing the question of why they clustered among certain tribes and in certain areas and not in others. The fact that movements were not randomly distributed throughout the country but clustered, suggests that any explanation of causation that f…

The Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organization: The Co-Optation of Leadership
The largest voluntary association in Kenya and only one with a countrywide network of clubs is Maendeleo ya Wanawake (Swahili for women's progress). It was organized by a small group of European in early 1950s under auspices of colonial government's Department of Community Development and Rehabilitation, to promote the advancement of African women and to raise African living standards. This paper will argue that although Maendeleo was founded to …

African Women, Fashion, and Scapegoating
A contemporary public controversy in East and Central Africa 1 focuses on the attire and behavior of African women, what they should and shouldn't wear, what they should and shouldn't do. A barrage of criticism lambastes the use of cosmetics and the wearing of particular fashions. Popular magazines feature articles entiled : How Do You Like Your Women: This Way or That ? They display pictures of a young woman in stretch pants next to one in tradi…

Equal Rights for Women in Kenya
During the early years of independence, a militant women's equal rights movement has developed in Kenya. Led by urban, educated women, the movement rejects what is now seen as the traditionally inferior role of women. It wants for them an equal share in the responsibilities and the opportunities of nationhood. This article will describe the message, tactics, and leadership of the early phase of the movement
The Politics of Sex: Some Strategies Employed by the Kenyan Power Elite to Handle a Normative-Existential Discrepancy
This paper examines some strategies employed by a power elite in dealing with the disjunction between official commitments and everyday practises. Data were gathered on women's protest in Kenya. It attacked the normative-existential discrepancy demanding that the political elites bring the institutional system and their private behaviour more into keeping with the beliefs they had professed in fighting colonialism and which are now enshrined in d…
