A Tapestry of Menopause Among traditi...
Menopause. This is not a word we often hear in everyday conversation. Many women are almost afraid of it, and men will hardly, if ever, speak it. It is a subject that we seldom discuss. Indeed, reference to a woman as menopausal is almost viewed as insulting; derogatory even. Yet, menopause is a biological reality, and the subject should therefore not evoke negative feelings or cause discomfort during conversation. It is a conversation that should be held freely and comfortably, by both men and women.
In this book, Wanjiru Kamau explores this uncomfortable yet critical subject by examining the perceptions of menopause among the traditional Agīküyü women. In the research, she records personal testimonies and lived experiences that offer reflections on the women's developmental stages from birth, menarche, menstruation, motherhood, and menopause, and their significance. In the process, she points the reader to the need for an examination of the subject among women. This book presents menopause among the traditional Agīküyü women as both biological and cultural, explaining how families and clans treated a girl at the onset of menarche and the different cultural responsibilities that women took up after menopause.
The testimonies given by my co-researchers - as Wanjiru prefers to call the women she interviewed - women who grew up without or with minimal influence of European education and Christianity, reveal a very different understanding and perception of women's bodies, sexuality, reproduction, and menopause from that of the Westernized woman in Kenya today. For comparison, the author shares her own journey from menarche to menopause, illustrating the negative perception of the process among educated and "Christianized" societies. That Wanjiru relies on oral testimonies as part of her research methodology is critical in demonstrating the place of oral history and tradition in knowledge production and transmission. The traditional woman was educated about her body and various developmental stages right from when she was a little girl. The society ensured that cultural education and indigenous knowledge on women's sexuality, reproduction, and self-care were passed on from generation to generation as the girls passed through the different rites.

Saving the Last Simp Volume 4: A Deep...
Something about romance does not always add up at first. Words say one thing, but behaviour, timing, and emotional shifts often tell a different story. That gap is where most men get lost, trying to make sense of what feels inconsistent on the surface.
This book steps into that space through the lens of women’s psychology. It examines how romantic expression is shaped by emotion and inner experience, and how it manifests in actions, presence, distance, and the subtle details that convey meaning beneath the surface.

In Understanding Be Men
Unknown to many, Meru School was founded on a crucible of fire and brimstone. Fire because the very first crop of learners to be enrolled in the Kaaga Mission School (Mambere) in 1913 were incinerated by a vengeful gang of Meru warriors in March 1914. Brimstone came 40 years later when the state of emergency was declared in October 1952, ushering in the Mau Mau rebellion that midwifed independence 12 years later. And then, in the screams and tumbles of war, the baby was born - February 1956.

Modern Law Of Criminal Procedure In K...
The law on criminal procedure in Kenya has tremendously changed after the Constitution of Kenya of 2010. New institutions with an impact on the criminal process such as the National Police Service, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Supreme Court were created. Certain rights that were hitherto unavailable were entrenched in the constitution, including the right to bail irrespective of the offence and the right to legal representation. The superior courts have had a busy time in the interpretation of the current law, and groundbreaking jurisprudence has emerged. There is no doubt that the study of criminal procedure has significantly changed. This book covers all important aspects of criminal procedure, taking into consideration the changes brought about by the Constitution of 2010. It fills a void created by the lack of updated texts on the law of criminal procedure. It utilizes simple, easy-to-understand language and makes reference to both local and international case law. This book will prove to be an invaluable companion to students of criminal procedure, legal practitioners, researchers, and the general public.

Managing Ethnicity In a Democracy: Th...
Kenya's democratic credentials among them freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of the press, strong civil society and a very vibrant opposition, remain coveted within the region. The country is however still grappling with the challenge of its highly ethnicised politics.
The aim of this book is to shed light on how and why ethnicity is highly entrenched in Kenyan politics. It also delves into how it has held back Kenya's democratisation process and its negative impact on a just, inclusive and unified nation.
The book proposes constitutional, legal and institutional reforms to mitigate the challenge of ethnicity in order to build a more solid democratic nation. This will help put the country on the trajectory of building a more prosperous nation state, where integrity, transparency and accountability are valued.
