Reimagining Science and Statecraft in Postcolonial Kenya

Stories from an African Scientist

Beschreibung

This book examines the development of medical sciences in postcolonial Kenya, through the adventures and stories of the controversial Kalenjin scientist Davy Kiprotich Koech. As a collaborative life story project, it privileges African voices and retellings, re-centering the voice of African scientists from the peripheries of storytelling.
