“This book is a tour de force that opens up a new terrain of scholarly research on African educational biographies. It is an excellent, educative, and inspiring book on the power of the individual and youth education in effecting societal change. It is a must read for all those who are looking to transformative educators to shape society.” (Maurice Amutabi, Professor of African History and Vice-Chancellor, Lukenya University, Kenya)
“It is an insightful ethnography on African education. Gikubu’s work on Starehe Boys Centre and School illuminates the reader on the history of an educational institution intended initially for cultural indoctrination of African male youth into colonial ideology during the war of resistance against British colonialism in Kenya. Through a re-examination of the colonial archives and their (re)presentation of African male youth as ‘deviant criminals,’ the book reveals the unforeseen possibilities for resistance and solidarity among the afflicted.” (Ousseina D. Alidou, Professor and Director, African Studies Program, Rutgers University, USA)

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines Joseph Kamiru Gikubu's impact on Kenyan youth education. The author asserts that over his decades-long career, Gikubu played an active role in not only building and improving Kenyan youth education but also in demonstrating the role educational institutions play in imparting nation-building skills. Gikubu's educational contributions were wide-ranging and include both practical and theoretical aspects of education through his works in various juvenile rehabilitation programs and youth clubs, as well as his insights on youth education and school leadership. Through Gikubu's educational work, this volume interrogates Kenya's educational development, transformation, and entailed challenges.
