Author:Kipkorir, B.E.
Year:1974
Periodical:Kenya Historical Review
Volume:2

Pages:143-161
Language:English
Geographic term:Kenya
Subject:elite
Abstract:Objective is to determine whether the modern elite descended from a distinguishable traditional, i.e. pre-colonial, social group or is made up of entirely new men. British administration as established in the first three decades of its rule, depended on a collaborative framework. This framework created opportunities for aspiring African individuals to act as communicators and intermediaries. Conclusion: the modern African elite in Kenya is not derived from a previous, traditional, precolonial elite. Notes, tables.
