Download or read book A Complex Polity written by Anne-Marie Peatrik and published by Africae. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together ethnography and history, this book offers an in-depth analysis of the pre-colonial polity of the Meru of Kenya and its radical transformations from 1908 through the 1950s. It addresses the manifold issues of initiation and the politics of belonging, unravels the intertwined life courses of men and women, and disentangles the web of family life and the handover of power across political generations. Restoring two well-known instances of Meru politics to their rightful place―the enigmatic mûgwe and the famous njûûri ncheke-the book also offers a fresh reading of the controversial story of Mbwaa. It sheds light on the crisis of the 1930s affecting male and female initiations, and establishes a link with the demographic transformations and the radical shift that occurred during the 1950s. A Complex Polity renews the issue of the historicity of political generation-set systems in Meru, as well as elsewhere in Kenya and eastern Africa. More broadly, the work aims to promote comparative anthropology to enhance knowledge of African pre-colonial democracies and polities, and a deeper understanding of social and cultural change in the longue durée, linking precolonial and postcolonial Africa. “Peatrik’s book is not a simple ethnographic monograph, it is an innovative analysis on the topic of age grades... Her study lies, in its own right, among the classics of ethnology and among the most original and comprehensive works on this subject. It is recommended not only to the africanists and the anthropologists, but also to those who are interested in studying social and political systems.” Bernardo Bernardi, author of The Mugwe, a Failing Prophet, and of Age Class Systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every community in the whole world both international and nationally with its people; has had a culture, customs and traditions that have for centuries survived to maintain those communities united against combats in their existence. Thus, if you wish to understand the community and its people; you must first understand and familiarize yourself with their customs, culture and traditions in order to appreciate them fully.It is in culture and traditions that people's morals, ethics, attitudes, approaches, behavior, comportment, generosity, humility or even hostility is displayed and gauged. Meru community is a group of the Bantus who crossed the Red Sea in a style of good comportment and inestimable hospitality that characterizes their existence in harmony and solid unification for existence.It is in the customs of the community that you will ever get to know and understand their origins as to whether they ever dealt with God fearing people in their past or not. If they originated near and from arrogant, haughty and conceited communities, who do not know, respect and fear God; their customs always survive to betray them. Their present tradition is fully with undying and enduring evil of stealing their neighbors' property and attacking their neighbors for no reasons at all. The reason for that behavior on their side is because they are less God-fearing people from their origins. This gives and forms another good reason for studying peoples' and communities' origins in time for early taming and future corrections by the National Government through an education system and syllabus affecting such people.Let it be clear and be understood that Kenyans in their entirety 42 tribes; did not originate from one point, place, residence, habitation or abode when they migrated into the Kenyan soil many centuries ago. Kenyans entered Kenya from different routes many centuries past; and their diversity is their signature and stamp to that mark of history. Some Kenyans are soft and others are arrogant, while others are wish thinkers and day-dreamers. We are all Kenyans in our Kenya.But remember that stealing, dreadful and outrageous neighborhoods are the worst enemies of any society. Stealing and misbehavior are two evils that destroy any community within the shortest possible time in people's life. Even in the Holy Bible humans are warned against the squabbling neighbors. See and read the story of Moses the sojourner - Deuteronomy 2:2-7 - where Moses was commanded not to attack or steal from Ishmael's descendants while retracing his route to Canaan.Our guaranteed and unshakable belief is that Meru community lived beyond the Red Sea and eventually one day they decided to cross the Sea. Their mode of crossing is disputable and quite distressing; while remembering that in those days, means of Sea travel was underdeveloped. But since the fact is that our forefathers lived beyond Red Sea and now today we live in Meru County, Kenya in Africa; we must believe that we crossed the Red Sea long ago; but how long ago, we are not very sure, though we can vaguely guess that it was around 9th, Century A.D.From that epoch Meru community has lived united as much as the donkeys' hoof which is solid, and which is in Meru language an African proverb (We are as united as the donkeys' hoof) that was coined by their ancestral lea
