Conversations with a Continent: Kenya
November 5, 20087:00pm - 9:00pm
Location: 92nd Street Y at 1395 Lexington Avenue, Warburg Hall
For a second year, participants of Conversations with a Continent are introduced to African art and culture and the contemporary realities of life in North America and Africa. Each session, devoted to a specific country, fosters a dialogue among audience members, scholars, artists, policy-makers and Africans living in the United States. Co-presented with the 92nd Street Y.
The Republic of Kenya, though known for animals and tourism, is a varied land, the most economically developed of East Africa. Kenya's political problems have been in the news as a result of the disputed election. More than 40 ethnic groups reside in Kenya with the largest group being the Kikuyu people and the next most important the Luo.
Join us this week with unique views of Kenya through the eyes of John Kiarie Wa'Njogu, Lector of Kiswahili at Yale University, Jacqueline M. Klopp, Assistant Professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, and Serah Shani, Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology and Education at Columbia University.
