Kenyan History, Politics and Economics

An independent expert on Kenya's politics, electoral system and history, I have been studying and occasionally publishing on Kenya since my D.Phil. in 1986. I have never been funded or financed by any NGOs, political parties or interest groups (apart from travel costs to observe the 2002 election, funded by a NGO). I have written two books on Kenya, one jointly with David Throup in 1998, the second my authoritative history of Kenya, published in 2011. Please click on the relevant image below for more details.
