Riassunto

This volume re-centres perspectives on Kenyan coastal history and society, moving away from the Swahili peoples as central actors and foregrounding other African peoples, particularly the Mijikenda, whose stories have received less emphasis. It explores how these coastal peoples have shaped their identities in conjunction with and in relation to their neighbours, examining the social, economic and political interactions between coastal residents in historical and contemporary contexts. Contributors include a new generation of Mijikenda scholar-activists.
