      title = {Indians in Kenya the politics of diaspora / [electronic  resource] :},
      abstract = {"Indians in Kenya chronicles the competing, often  contradictory, strategies by which the South Asian diaspora  sought a political voice in Kenya from the beginning of  colonial rule in the late 1890s to independence in the  1960s. Indians' intellectual, economic, and political  connections with South Asia shaped their understanding of  their lives in Kenya. Sana Aiyar investigates how the many  strands of Indians' diasporic identity influenced Kenya's  political leadership, from claiming partnership with  Europeans in their mission to colonize and "civilize" East  Africa to successful collaborations with Afrians to battle  for racial equality, including during the Mau Mau  rebellion. She also explores how the hierarchical  structures of colonial governance, the material  inequalities between Indians and Africans, and the  racialized political discourses that flourished in both  colonial and postcolonial Kenya limited the success of  alliances across racial and class lines"--},
