Abstract:
Kenya as a country has different communities. Over time, there have been cases of animosity and even fighting among different communities. Such differences obviously undermine the spirit of coexistence in a given society. Communities often live under fear and tension, raising the question why people shouldn’t coexist peacefully. This necessitates a concerted effort to unearth why such animosity exists. One possible avenue of establishing the kind of relationship that exists between the people is by listening to what they say about each other through their literary performances. This paper take

Abstract:
This text delves into the redefinition of the role of women among the Bukusu of Bungoma County in western Kenya from the year 1945 to 2023. The paper’s main objective is to investigate the origin of the change of roles of women among the Bukusu people. The research holds the hypothesis that there is an origin for the prevailing transformations of roles of women among the Bukusu. It makes use of existing literature such as books, journals, articles, magazines, and newspapers, and existing observations. This research is significant in adding new knowledge to the anthropological studies of women

Abstract:
There is a growing body of scholarly work on political behaviour in Africa that accords much credence to the salience of ethnicity as a rallying point during electoral processes. Yet at the country level, we still understand very little about the interactions between ethnicity and voting behaviour and what demographic groups are more likely or less likely to be susceptible to the effects of ethnic cues, if at all, when voting or expressing support in other ways for political parties. Such features are dominant in Kenyan politics and are characterized majorly through ethnic-based politics where

Abstract:
Sherry Ortner has recently described Marxian and Foucauldian inspired anthropological concerns for power, domination, and inequality as “dark anthropology.” In juxtaposition, Joel Robbins has challenged anthropologists to explore ideas of the good life, conceptions of value, and ethics in different ethnographic contexts; what he calls an “anthropology of the good.” Between these poles, this paper attempts an anthropology of the “good enough” to examine beliefs and practices that may partially, and counterintuitively, ground local conceptions of trust in the gray areas of social life.

Abstract:
Relevance: Although the Bukusu community continues to maintain a strong attachment to their culture, traditions and superstitions, there is great evidence of gradual erosion of their ethnoknowledge base and ethnopractices, including their proverbs’ custody, use and applications. Aim of the Sudy: The aim of the present study was to document proverbs from the Bukusu community and give an account of their use and application in life as a way of safeguarding endangered traditions in the society. It was envisaged that this would provide a basis for further research on their applicability cross vari

Abstract:
This study focuses on the interplay between a cultural policy and its efficacy in the regulation of the appropriation process of music and dance idioms. With a specific focus on Kamabeka music and dance of the Bukusu Community of Kenya, available scholarly investigations attest to the fact that previous studies focused on other aspects of the dance and less on the aspect of appropriation, hence resulting in a paucity of literature. The study was guided by a qualitative research design. The results revealed that appropriation is still ongoing, and its effects continue to undermine the socio-eco

Abstract:
Christian churches have been in existence in Bukusu land for over a hundred years and their influence on African cultural practices cannot be overemphasized. The role of traditional circumcision initiation of boys into adulthood, as practiced by various communities in Kenya has been transformational, especially in the development of positive social values such as morality. Over the years, traditional Bukusu circumcision has however failed to produce moral ‘graduates’, especially because the focus has been to instill values such as bravery, which requires encouraging boys to violence and coarse

Abstract:
Death and dying is a very interesting topic to study. It has however attracted very little historical, socio- cultural and anthropological interrogations. Among the pristine Bukusu people of Western Kenya, death was accorded numerous socio-cultural rituals that constituted coded meanings which may have only been understood in the realms of religion. This paper thus attempted an examination on how traditional religion was a key determinant in conducting death rituals in the precolonial setup of the Bukusu community that was devoid foreign cultural influence.

Abstract:
Most Africans cultures were observed and practiced within the confines of their moral values that carried coded meaning which required more attention to understand hidden symbolism contained therein. Among the Bukusu people of Western Kenya for instance, circumcision was perhaps a cultural routine that was practiced with strict observance of several stages and rituals that indirectly communicated important messages to the initiates and the society at large. Hence, this paper examines key stages that are involved in order to successfully complete a Bukusu circumcision ritual. Such phases contai

Abstract:
Names are an essential part of human existence since almost every real object, from man himself to the objects of nature, has its own name. Names of places in linguistics are known as toponyms. Toponyms play a multidimensional role in the society be it geographically, historically or sociocultural. Thus, toponyms have caught the attention of researchers since they offer a wide range of research from form to motivation. This paper analyses Lubukusu toponyms from a social cultural context. The paper aims at showing how toponyms are embedded in cultural and historical features of Bukusu people. T

Abstract:
This study is a reading of khuswala kumuse (funeral oratory) among the Bukusu from the perspective of contemporary theories of masculinity and gender relations. Funeral oratory performance is an age-old practice performed on the third day after burial (lufu), of honoured males from clans that enjoy respect from other clans because of their leadership qualities. The thesis is about the performances of John Wanyonyi Manguliechi. Focusing on his unique personality and creative oral skills as a performer, the thesis seeks to demonstrate Manguliechi’s artistic contribution to a venerated tradition.
