Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burning Ambition explores how young people learn to understand and influence the workings of power and justice in their society. Since 2008, hundreds of secondary schools across Kenya have been targeted with fire by their students. Through an in-depth study of Kenyan secondary students’ use of arson, Elizabeth Cooper asks why. With insightful ethnographic analysis, she shows that these young students deploy arson as moral punishment for perceived injustices and arson proves an effective tactic in their politics from below. Drawing from years of research and a rich array of sources, Cooper accounts for how school fires stoke a national conversation about the limited means for ordinary Kenyans, and especially youth, to peacefully influence the governance of their own lives. Further, Cooper argues that Kenyan students’ actions challenge the existing complacency with the globalized agenda of “education for all,” demonstrating that submissive despondency is not the only possible response to the failed promises of education to transform material and social inequalities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Greek mythology, the Titan War or the Battle of the Titans was a 10-year old series of battles fought on Mount Olympus. The Titans, a powerful race of elder gods did not want to relinquish their limitless power to the Olympians, the younger generation. The fierce affair generated earthquakes on earth, the air burned, water boiled and even the sky groaned. In the end, the Olympians won. In America today a revolutionary "gray army" of older workers is fighting the youth- obsessed culture, to have their careers extended- the Gray Revolution.In Kenya's forthcoming General Election, the political duel predicted to be one of the fiercest and outcome most unpredictable has several big names for the presidential contest: Musalia Mudavadi, Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetangula and Gideon Moi. Then there are the two heavyweights. Raila Odinga, close to the status of octogenarian is still reluctant to exit the political stage even after multiple attempts to capture the presidency. Deputy President William Ruto 54, a political dynamite will be banking on his ten years' experience as second in command and a youthful generation that is yearning for change. And finally: The candidate retiring President Uhuru Kenyatta, a bigger giant, will be backing. Whichever way it goes, the result is expected to impact significantly on the political and economic landscape in Kenya.Legendary American novelist Earnest Hemingway described Kenya as "unknowable, unimaginable, unbelievable." Despite being relatively small in size and young in age, the nation is one of many "first", abundantly blessed. From Princess Elizabeth Alexandra's promotion to Queen Elizabeth II February 1952 while on a visit to the country, Archbishop Justin Welby discovering God while a teacher in the country 1974, thereby starting an 18-year-old journey to becoming the 105th leader of Anglicans worldwide, America getting its first ever African-American president of Kenyan ancestry in Barack Obama January 2009, Eliud Kipchoge making history October 2019 as the first human to complete marathon in under two hours, the annual wildebeest migration in Maasai Mara presenting the world's greatest mammalian phenomenon - the list is long and impressive.Kenya is an economic powerhouse in East and Central Africa. In global matters, Nairobi is home to the United Nations headquarters in Africa and the Southern Hemisphere in addition to hosting the largest concentration of UN-related organizations and NGOs. Foreign governments and multinationals have invested billions in this part of the world. Nairobi also hosts the second largest European Union foreign mission after London. A share of the Kenyan cake is simply irresistible. Literary speaking, half of planet Earth is run from the Kenyan capital.Yet one big question persists. Why has Kenya, translated in Hebrew as "God's Nest", endowed with infinite possibilities everywhere, remained a Third World country for nearly 60 years since independence, oftentimes scoring poorly in most international ranking indexes? The answer: The gods are not to blame; nothing is the matter with its people, land, climate or anything else. Bad political leadership is to blame.World citizens, governments, development partners, investors and tourists take great interest on the political leadership of a country. The international community as well as citizens would wish for a stable, peaceful and prosperous brand Kenya. The world is keenly watching Kenya as it heads to electing its fifth President on August 2022. This book takes the reader deep into the country's political history: Yesterday, today and tomorrow. As the world races to beat the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) deadline 2030, Kenya's new leadership shall determine how fast the country meets the goals.Dimensions: B5 (176mm x 250mm).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The director of the famed Bodleian Libraries at Oxford narrates the global history of the willful destruction—and surprising survival—of recorded knowledge over the past three millennia. Libraries and archives have been attacked since ancient times but have been especially threatened in the modern era. Today the knowledge they safeguard faces purposeful destruction and willful neglect; deprived of funding, libraries are fighting for their very existence. Burning the Books recounts the history that brought us to this point. Richard Ovenden describes the deliberate destruction of knowledge held in libraries and archives from ancient Alexandria to contemporary Sarajevo, from smashed Assyrian tablets in Iraq to the destroyed immigration documents of the UK Windrush generation. He examines both the motivations for these acts—political, religious, and cultural—and the broader themes that shape this history. He also looks at attempts to prevent and mitigate attacks on knowledge, exploring the efforts of librarians and archivists to preserve information, often risking their own lives in the process. More than simply repositories for knowledge, libraries and archives inspire and inform citizens. In preserving notions of statehood recorded in such historical documents as the Declaration of Independence, libraries support the state itself. By preserving records of citizenship and records of the rights of citizens as enshrined in legal documents such as the Magna Carta and the decisions of the US Supreme Court, they support the rule of law. In Burning the Books, Ovenden takes a polemical stance on the social and political importance of the conservation and protection of knowledge, challenging governments in particular, but also society as a whole, to improve public policy and funding for these essential institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) was set up to facilitate and promote equality of opportunity, good relations, harmony and peaceful coexistence between persons of the different ethnic and racial communities of Kenya, and to advise the Government on all aspects thereof after the violence that followed the December 2007 elections. In Kenya, Bridging Ethnic Divides: A Commissioner’s Experience on Cohesion and Integration, Commissioner Alice Wairimũ Nderitũ looks behind the scenes at the NCIC’s efforts to ensure peaceful co-existence. Such as, working with elders, mediating confidentially between political leaders at the highest levels and co-founding and working as first Co-Chair of Uwiano Platform for Peace, a conflict prevention agency largely credited with leading efforts in ensuring peaceful processes during the 2010 Constitutional referendum and 2013 General elections. The book tells of NCIC’s efforts in grappling with the seemingly intractable problem of managing the negative consequence of ethnic differences on questions such as: Why is Kenya so ethnically polarised? Why is an ethnic group the key defining factor in Kenyan politics? What hope is there for an inclusive Kenya? The book shows that positive policies and intra- and inter-ethnic spaces can be used to counter negative influences that lead to fear, exclusion and violence. The diversity of Kenya’s ethnicities and races need not be a pretext for conflict, but a source of truly national identity. It proves that dialogue on understanding differences and commonalities leads to improved relationships and understanding on societal dynamics. This in turn, contributes to preventing and transforming conflicts through appropriate inclusion policies, identifying entry points for change as well as opportunities to tackle the norms and behaviours that underpin structural disparities.
