Abstract:
"This book examines gendered violence in the context of multiparty politics in Kenya, placing it in the historical context of colonial rule and its legacies of the ethnicization of both state and society. It offers an extensive account of the ways liberal democratic politics have produced violent outcomes for women."--Publisher's summary
