Ethnicity in Kenya: A Philosophical Perspective

This book examines the underlying factors behind negative ethnicity in Kenya and how these factors have become detrimental to nation-building. More so, in order to solve negative ethnicity in this period of social-turbulence and change, reference is made to Plato’s allegory of the cave. The historical, critical- analytical, phenomenological, speculative and holistic analyses are objectively used to critically examine the factors contributing to negative ethnicity. This book adds value to the pool of knowledge on the problem of negative ethnicity. It also gives a different interpretation of negative ethnicity with the aim of liberating many from myopic mindsets in this period of social-turbulence and change in Kenya. This book is a relevant source of information for scholars working in the field of ethnicity and the issues that emanates from its manipulation of politics or governance of Kenya.
