Partnership in Higher Education -African Higher Education: Developments and Perspectives
KShs 6,000.00Trends in institutional partnership in higher education have shown tremendous growth in the past three decades. These trends are manifested through the growing initiatives of joint programs that promote collaborative research, academic mobility, joint curriculum development and course delivery, joint bidding for development projects and bench marking. Partnerships in higher education have been used not only as an instrument for institutional development through a wide range of strategic alliances but also as an essential way of introducing new voices to the operations of the universities by initiating new paradigms that bring new perspectives and bear competitive advantage on the partners. As the trend of partnership in higher education grew, scholars in higher education studies have also engaged in conceptualising higher education partnership from academic perspectives, analysing trends and developing models of higher education collaborations.

Africa: Crude Continent: The Struggle for Africa’s Oil Prize Paperback
KShs 1,992.00Based on thirty years in the global oil game, intimate knowledge of African history and direct experience of over forty countries, this comprehensive book shows that Africa’s flaws are not the whole story, when it comes to the continent’s history. A definitive yet original account of the rush for Africa’s oil, this is also a guide to the hidden face of Africa. Duncan Clarke begins by placing African oil issues in their historical context before tackling the issues of power, nationalism and different parties’ strategies for control that have led to today’s oil scene. This book is the ultimate reference work on oil in Africa – which is vital to everyone’s future around the world.

The Fante and the Transatlantic Slave Trade-Paperback
KShs 995.00The Fante and the Transatlantic Slave Trade explores the fascinating history of the transatlantic slave trade on Ghana’s coast between 1700 and 1807. Author Rebecca Shumway brings to life the survival experiences of southern Ghanaians as they became both victims of continuous violence and successful brokers of enslaved human beings. The era of the slave trade gave birth to a new culture in this part of West Africa, just as it was giving birth to new cultures across the Americas. The Fante and the Transatlantic Slave Trade pushes Asante scholarship to the forefront of African diaspora and Atlantic World studies by showing the integral role of Fante middlemen and transatlantic trade in the development of the Asante economy prior to 1807.

Regionalization of African Higher Education -progress and prospects
KShs 6,720.00Regionalization of higher education in Africa is the least researched topic in the field of Social Science. In this regard, this book is a pioneer in terms of exploring both the historical and theoretical dynamics of regionalization processes within Africa. This book raises fundamental questions that focus on context and formation, operationalization and implications, and challenges and prospects of these regionalization processes. In doing so, it gives both the analytical contexts of the evolution of higher education regionalization and the current initiatives by the African Union. Dissertation.

Artisanal Fishers on the Kenyan Coast- Household Livelihoods and Marine Resource Management
KShs 1,200.00Overexploitation of natural resources is often associated with poverty among local populations. A multi-disciplinary team studied artisanal fishers along the Kenyan coast on the Indian Ocean. The main focus of the research was on income diversification of fishers, the pressure on marine resources and the relation between the two. Income diversification did not reduce the pressure on the marine environment. Rather, indications are that many part-time fishers are entering the profession. Moreover, fishers with alternative employment stayed in-shore and used damaging gear more often. Policies to stimulate employment opportunities for coastal communities cannot be expected to lessen the pressure on marine resources and need to be planned carefully in terms of industry location, labour requirements and degree of coastal pollution.
