Imperial Reckoning

Imperial Reckoning.

















The History of Colonial Kenya, is one rather turbulent in its ways. In many a way, it has never been truly told as it did truly happen even, and as with viewing it all, and as Warring even, and between the British, and the Kikuyu peoples of Kenya too that is. In many a way though, the best way to view this History, is from the lenses of Gender, Race, Age and Class too.

To speak of Gender issues and Colonial Kenya, is to in many a way even, speak of how Masculinity and Feminity were defined in all, or even Sexuality in itself too actually. In many a way, two competing spheres do arise here in all, and where Gender in many a way, is favourably viewed from a Victorian perspective, while Gender and as seen amongst the Kikuyu peoples in all, is in many a way denounced actually.

To speak of Race in Colonial Kenya, is to speak in all again, and of whom truly did belong in Kenya that is. In all, an unknown history of Kenya, and very much involving the Swahili people to be seen along the Swahili Coast in all, and as with they even responsible for bringing many a Migrant Labourer, and from the Middle East and Asia too, and into Kenya, and in many a way creating dissension in all and as with regards to whom did truly belong in Kenya that is. On one side, you have Italian/European groups who did want to settle in Kenya and make it rather European in all, and on the otherside speak of these Migrant Labourers from Asia and the Middle East (and some African too), and who very much are Sub-Saharan African in their looks, and as with they believing Africa in general to be their home that is, but with a final view of all this, speaking of actual Indigenous groups of peoples in Kenya, and such as the Maasai for instance, and in many a way even, giving birth to questions in all, and of just where in all again, any of these three groups in all, should actually be settled that is. In all, one could say that, those who truly do belong in Kenya, should have a physical look in all, somewhat resembling groups found in Somalia, Ethiopia, and the Maasai of Kenya too that is.

To speak of Age in Colonial Kenya, is to very much speak of those respected in all, and in Kenyan Colonial Society too (and as with it represented even, and by Touristic spots in Nairobi, and such as the Norfolk Hotel for instance), very much somewhat truly American in their ways even (and as with speak even of Ernest Hemingway for instance), but with many who are not American in their ways, and as with speak even of many an ambitious Migrant African in all, very much presenting themselves as Nubian actually. In many a way even, speak of the attempt to educate Migrant African groups in Kenya, and along the lines of becoming somewhat Nubian in respectability, and as with Independence in Kenya in all, not truly speaking of the Kikuyu peoples of Kenya (and as with most if not all, coming in from Asia and the Middle East, and even the Sudan and the Congo too), but in all ways even, Independence in all, given by the British and to those very much Nubian in their ways actually [and as with Independence even, very much speaking of giving Migrant Labourer groups in Kenya, Self-Images of Respect in all that is]. 

To speak of Class and as seen in Colonial Kenya, is to speak of the British in all, and as controlling the Kenyan Colonial Government, and in many a way even, speak of the British creating a Wealth Base in Colonial Kenya, and that was supported and by Migrant Labour into Kenya too, and in many a way even, the British now attempting to create a segregated society in all, and in many a way too, giving birth to a Kenya in all, where its peoples are viewed as being primarily White or Black that is [and with those said White, part of the British Wealth Base that is, and with those said Black, either struggling to forment business oriented relations with the British, or in many a way even, the very attempt to create their own Wealth Base that is] [and all this too, specifically referring to politics in all, and as seen in the city of Nairobi that is, and as with further speak even, and of its rise as one of Africa's major cities that is].

In all, the above issues, and especially those pertaining to Race (and speak even of the Mau Mau), and Gender too (and speak even of 'Tribal' Language issues in Kenya and as versus Victorian English that is), did give rise to a rather even violent society, and with rampant killings to be seen all over places the Kenyan Colonial Government did operate in, and which did in all lead to the situation described in the work 'Imperial Reckoning' and by Caroline Elkines too, and in all again resulting in 'Imperial Britains' Gulag in Kenya, and as with it targeted towards the Kikuyu peoples of Kenya specifically, and in many a way even, truly speaking of a Christian Religious solution to this problem, and as versus a Political solution, and which is implemented and with Independence in Kenya too that is.
