This book applies an interdisciplinary approach to evaluate the journey that Kenya has travelled as a nation since the end of colonialism on December 12, 1963. It aims to advance understanding of the country's major milestones in the postcolonial period, the challenges and the lessons that can be learned from this experience, and the future prospects. The book demonstrates that Kenya's postcolonial experience is marked with moments of tremendous feats amidst endemic economic and political challenges that have on occasion severely strained the national fabric. While Kenya has distinguished itself as the hub for commerce and industry in East Africa, and the new constitution has offered a renewed sense of optimism for a better future, nevertheless, the country is confronted with many challenges the most significant being scarcity of jobs, ethnic differences largely nurtured by the political class, and widespread corruption.
