"Anaïs Angelo combines an insightful analysis of the political imagination and political style of Jomo Kenyatta with a vivid portrayal of infighting among the elite around him. Her study provides a rare glimpse into politics at the summit of an African regime." Frederick Cooper, New York University and author of Africa Since 1940: The past of the present

"In this newly researched book Dr Angelo persuasively enters into the controversies surrounding the first Kenyatta's presidency, to portray it as a power created by a political elite who had no authority other than his peculiarly enigmatic charisma and who then exploited it in their own self-interest, with an eye to insuring their privileges against the uncertain future that lay ahead without him." John Lonsdale, University of Cambridge

Anaïs Angelo is a postdoctoral researcher at the Universität Wien, Austria.
