Book Description
Three themes emerge: the importance of hunting to Kenyan farmers and herders; the attempt during the European colonization of Kenya to recreate on African soil the practices and values of nineteenth-century European aristocratic hunts, which both created and reinforced an image of African inferiority and subordination; the role of the conservationists, who came to claim sovereignty over the world of nature and wildlife, in completing the transformation of African hunters into criminal poachers and eliminating them from the hunting scene.
