Creativity and political repression: the confusion of fact and fiction

In: Race & class: a journal on racism, empire and globalisation, Volume 37, Issue 4

Abstract

Reports the new wave of repression of the government of Moi which began in early 1995. Ever since `multiparty' was introduced at the end of 1991, the government has used tactics reminiscent of colonial `divide and rule' policy to counter the threat that democracy poses to tyranny. In recent years, a number of groups in Kenya have boldly published reports criticising government violations of human rights. Reviews these and the repression experienced by individuals.
