Conclusion. 520 $a This book analyses the emergence, strategies, and outcomes of the struggle to embed democratic governance and constitutional order in Kenya, showcasing both the power and the limits of citizen agency in the struggle to transform a postcolonial African state. Utilising data from primary interviews, media, and existing literature, this book analyses the emergence, diffusion, operational strategies, and outcomes of Kenyan constitutional reform struggles with a view to highlighting both the power and limits of social movement in transforming a postcolonial African state. It engages intersections of social movement and theories of democratisation to probe the production, operations, and outcomes of the disruptive yet creative power of the movements at the centre of the struggle to transform the Kenyan constitution. The book also appraises the "meanings" of, and developments after, the promulgation of the 2010 constitution with a view to illuminating the prospects for a transformative democratic political order in Kenya. This book is a useful tool in understanding the struggles specific to Kenya, but also offer insights to other democratic struggles on the African continent and beyond. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of social movements and political change in Africa in general and Kenya in particular. 650 0 $a Protest movements $z Kenya. 650 0 $a Political participation $z Kenya. 651 0 $a Kenya $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Political participation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069386 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Protest movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079826 651 7 $a Kenya. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208718 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Mati, Jacob Mwathi. $t Political protest in contemporary Kenya. $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2020 $z 9780429316579 $w (OCoLC)1140387136 830 0 $a African governance ; $v v. 15. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015308.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D89C1B4403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
