About this title

Synopsis

This book looks at the role higher education leadership and governance has in the development of creative and cultural industries in Kenya. It addresses the perceived disconnect between the practice of knowledge of the creative industries and the educational approach of the same at the university level and how this impacts on leadership in the country. The result of three years of research in a field that is amorphous, changing by the day due to a lack of clear policies to regulate it (especially with theatre and film production), this volume serves as a bridge between the creative and cultural industries and the world of academia. Distributed in North America by the African Books Collective. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
