Kenya reconstructing?

En savoir plus sur le livre

This volume is a product of empirical rich and theoretically thought generating material collected over a one year field research undertaken in 2001 - 2002, in the Kenyan Rift Valley. Focusing on the strategies of women coping with displacement and trying to make their new places their home, Dr. Achieng' adopts a multi-local, agency and actor-centred approach and thus brilliantly shows how, by economic and social networking and by creating new sets of meaning, these women reconstruct and reconnect the places they were driven from, to the places they now live and work in.
