Abstract: | An important factor in the growth of Kenyan nationalism is the fact that the colony was a multi-racial one. The Africans were at the bottom of the political and economic ladder in their own country. This, together with the British land and labour policies contributed to Kenyan nationalism, in which three phases are discernible. The first phase was characterised by more or less cautious demands by quasi-political associations for improvements in the conditions of Africans. The second phase by a flowering of cultural nationalism and the third by militant nationalism. Bibl., photographs. |
