Download or read book Marakwet of Kenya s Perceptions of the Alternative Rite of Passage written by Gladys Jerobon Kiptiony and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) refers to a rite of passage that involves surgical operation of genitalia of young girls as a marriage preparation in some communities in Kenya. Knives and other sharp objects, without any anesthesia, are used in the operation. The aftermath is a scar, a small virginal opening, infections and other effects on maternal health. The World Vision International teamed with 'Maendeleo ya Wanawake' of Kenya to introduce an alternative rite of passage that involves guidance and festivities and a graduation into womanhood without the cutting off of the girls genitalia. This study's objective was to find out the perceptions of the Marakwet people of Kenya on the alternative rite of passage. Results showed that the youth, the christians, the educated, the wealthy, those with a high social status had a positive perception of the new rite. However, the Alternative Rite Graduands' narrations showed non acceptance of their new status as women by their peers. For the Alternative Rite to be accepted, the community has to be convinced that women do not need the pain and suffering of mutilation of their genitalia to be women. The knifeless rite should be accepted.

Download or read book Marakwet written by Samuel K. Elolia and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to provide an ethnography of the Marakwet and its encounter with colonizers and missionaries. The core of the book concerns the formation of the Marakwet person through the rites of passage. Indeed, cultural education is critical in establishing a socially mature identity. By virtue of repetition, humans connect to the past and create a continuum. Also, through rituals, the world is no longer an opaque mass of objects arbitrarily thrown together, but a living cosmos that can be intelligible and significant. It explains why things exist and to what ends. At the same time, through rituals, new ideas are given new interpretations. The missionary colonizing project unsuccessfully tried to dislodge such traditions. The African tradition is the context from which most Christians come, and to which many still practice to some degree. It is therefore necessary for both Marakwet and Christian tradition to interact. The book highlights the concept of inculturation as a viable resource in helping Christianity engage the culture with minimal disruptions.
