PROCESSING MAP ACTIVITY

WARM-UP Read: “I would say colonialism is a wonderful thing. It spread civilization to Africa. Before it they had no written language, no wheel as we know it, no schools, no hospitals, not even normal clothing.” Ian Smith, Last White Prime Minister of Rhodesia Reflect & Write: In one sentence, journal - Why might he be right?

PREVIEW ACTIVITY Kenya: National Identity and Unity OVERVIEW  Location: Kenya is located in the tropical region of Africa  Climate: Arid / Semi-arid savanna climate due to wind patterns that bring little rain from the Indian or Atlantic Oceans (Similar to Texas)  Vegetation: Grassland & Scrub Brush manage to support large populations of wildlife

PREVIEW ACTIVITY Kenya: National Identity and Unity HISTORY  The Historical boundaries of Africa prior to European colonization were based on cultural and linguistic divisions as large groups of people formed tribes and controlled certain regions.  In 1884 this changed when the European powers met in Germany to divide up Africa into areas controlled by each European power.  Britain was given the right to control the area of Kenya

PREVIEW ACTIVITY Kenya: National Identity and Unity HISTORY  The Local African Tribes were forced to give-up their lands with no compensation.  English settlers came and set-up a regional government, introduced the English language and brought Christianity to the region. In effect, they brought British Law and rule to the territory with little input from the native tribes.  The Rift Valley and the surrounding Highlands became the enclave of white immigrants engaged in large-scale coffee farming dependent on mostly Kikuyu labor. This area's fertile land has always made it the site of migration and conflict. There were no significant mineral resources—none of the gold or diamonds that attracted so many to South Africa

PREVIEW ACTIVITY Kenya: National Identity and Unity HISTORY  As a reaction to their exclusion from political representation, the Kikuyu people, the most subject to pressure by the settlers, founded in 1921 Kenya's first African political protest movement, leading to the Kenyan African Union as a native political party  In response to the rising pressures the British Colonial Office broadened the membership of the Legislative Council and increased its role. By 1952 a multiracial pattern of quotas allowed for 14 European, 1 Arab, and 6 Asian elected members, together with an additional 6 African and 1 Arab member chosen by the governor. The council of ministers became the principal instrument of government in 1954.

PREVIEW ACTIVITY Kenya: National Identity and Unity HISTORY  A key watershed came from 1952 to 1956, during the Mau Mau Uprising, an armed local movement directed principally against the colonial government and the European settlers. It was the largest and most successful such movement in British Africa. The protest was supported almost exclusively by the Kikuyu, despite issues of land rights and anti-European, anti-Western appeals designed to attract other groups.  This movement lead to eventual independence in 1963 for Kenya.  The country continues to face many obstacles including having over 42 different ethnic groups that conflict over how to divide power and resources.
