Abstract:A study investigating the process of policy formation by the British Colonial Office in Africa through the eyes of the local policymakers - the colonial governors, the Secretariats, the field administrators, and the various technical departments which dealt directly with Africans. This story of Kenya in the decade before the outbreak of the Mau Mau emergency attempts to present an integrated view of imperial government as well as to examine the social and economic causes of the Kikuyu revolt.
