Abstract: | This is a shortened version of a chapter from 'Cheche Kenya', a discussion document written prior to the events of 1982 by Kenyan activists with a view to 'clarifying our situation as simply and directly as possible, in a way which will stimulate Kenyans to think for themselves and mobilise their own strength and capacity for action'. It was originally circulated as an underground document within Kenya. Sections: origins of the petite-bourgeoisie - thwarting the Asian bourgeoisie - nyang'au (hyena) at the door - the foreign connection - the folly of import substitution - the landed and the landless - the coffee fiasco - commandeering the surplus - hakuna kazi, no work - the IMF kiss of 'life'.
