Reviews

Stories attest to the profoundly relational nature of human experience and achievement. With these engaging tales from the life of one of Kenya's most prominent scientists, Denielle Elliott's book reveals the intricate web of relationship and heritage through which postcolonial citizens here and elsewhere pursue knowledge, negotiate statecraft, and navigate the promises and pitfalls of transcontinental connection. Anand Pandian, Johns Hopkins University, USA
