Male circumcision remains one of the most important rites of passage in many African societies. Despite the impact from the influence of Western civilization, some core elements of this rite have remained unchanged. Focusing on the Bukusu society of western Kenya as a case study, this research study is about how certain African communities use male circumcision ritual as a major means by which societies create men out of boys, and how the ritual process impacts the modern system of schooling in the traditional African societies.
