L’or de Kakamega : étude du renouveau de l’activité minière artisanale dans l’Ouest du Kenya

Joseph BOHBOT, Mambo!, Vol. XX (1), 2023. Dans l’Ouest du Kenya, des milliers d’individus se sont lancés dans le travail de l’or. Cette activité, qui connaît un renouveau depuis les années 1990, se développe à l’ombre des ruines des anciennes mines ouvertes durant la période coloniale britannique. L’orpaillage, pluriel dans ses formes et dans ses pratiques, apparaît alors comme une nouvelle source de revenus pour la population du comté, bien que ces activités aient des impacts environnementaux importants.

Guns and Conservation: Protecting Wildlife and Ensuring “Peace and Security” in Northern Kenya

Sara van der HOEVEN. Mambo! Vol. XVIII (1), 2021. By mapping the circulation of firearms in northern Kenya, this paper aims to show the different ways armed conservation practices are more than a means to protect wildlife. Conservation is a means to achieve “peace and security,” too. Rangers fill the law enforcement vacuum that the government leaves open. Even though guns are but one element in conservation politics, following their circulation allows me to bring these different places and times into one analytical lens.
