African Behavior: Social Status of Behavioral Sciences and Future Policy Predicament in Kenya

The book examines the historical development of social and behavioral sciences in Kenya and Africa. Their emergence and development in the context of European enslavement and colonization is analyzed. The author also discusses the need for African scholars to formulate new theories and or techniques to be used in academic studies and explanation of a social phenomenon in Africa. As social sciences enter the middle the millennium they ought to create less 'Global North' but more 'Global South' theoretical images of the contemporary societies in Africa. The book in conclusion attempts to establish the fact the presence of African behavioral and social sciences in Africa is heavily felt at the higher academic/ institutional and national scene. Therefore, their trans-formative role in the futurist predicament of public and socio-economic policy cannot be overstated.
