• catalog abstract ""This history of administrative thought and practice in colonial Kenya, looks at the ways in which white people tried to engineer social change. It asks four questions: Why was Kenya's welfare operation so idiosyncratic and spartan compared with other British colonies? Why did a transformation from social welfare to community development produce further neglect of the very poor? Why were there no equivalents to the French tradition of community medicine? If there was a transformatory element of colonial rule that sought to address poverty, where and why did it fall down? The answers to these questions offer a revealing insight into the dynamics of rule within the late colonial period."--Jacket.".
