New Acquisition Highlight: Politics of poverty: the Odinga curse to the Luos!

Most of the (auto)biographies of politicians, religious leaders and businessmen (or women) that the ASC Library acquired last year in Kenya and Uganda highlight the achievements and successes of these persons. However, Politics of poverty: the Odinga curse to the Luos! (published in 2012) by Ojijo, a Kenyan Luo living in Kampala, falls into a different category. It is a rather heated political and ideological pamphlet blaming Raila Odinga - then Prime Minister in a power-sharing construction with rival Mwai Kibaki as President - for not having brought 'an iota of development in Luoland'. Ojijo's book is the subject of our latest Acquisition Highlight!
