In the Îgembe region of Kenya, people live in a unique time-world, acknowledging the benefits of waiting as a means of solution. This study explores this indigenous community's orientation toward communal intentions and exclusion of individualism. Through 20 years of research, Shin-ichiro Ishida traces major social and historical turning points, such as the price collapse of coffee beans and collective sanctions against sexual predators. He observes how internal village conflicts are overcome by waiting, before rallying to regain ‘communal intent’.
This is for scholars, researchers, and students interested in:
- African studies
- Anthropology
- Sociology
- Cultural studies
Discover the complexities of social transition and the enduring power of tradition in a rapidly changing world.
