Kenya is a country located in East Africa and bordered by Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia. It has a population of approximately 53 million people, with the economy largely based on agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing. The capital city is Nairobi, which is also a major commercial hub in the region. Kenya has a rich cultural heritage, with over 40 distinct ethnic groups, each with their own traditions and languages. The country is also known for its diverse wildlife and scenic landscapes, including the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve, home to the Great Wildebeest Migration. Despite its many challenges, including poverty, corruption, and political instability, Kenya has made significant strides in recent years, including the creation of a new constitution in 2010 and a growing economy.

This historical analysis is followed by a theoretical discussion of its implications for such issues as the mode of production operative in Kenya, the type of class analysis which is appropriate for the country, the role of the state in capital accumulation and class formation, and the possible relevance of Marxist value theory to the analysis of exploitation in Kenya. This book sets new standards for the study of the process of 'drift into dependency' and of the role of the state in the direction of a political economy. It will be invaluable not only to Africanists but to all those involved in the study of the social, political, and economic structure of Third World countries.
