Publisher Description: Divided by the Rift Valley, which Charles Darwin dubbed the cradle of civilization. Kenya's distinctive geography is just part of its mystique. The world's prime safari destination is home to more than 40 tribal groups. While modern-day Kenya remains a mix of lifestyles, languages, and cultures, students will learn that the country's history is marked by divisive struggles between white European colonists and indigenous peoples. Primary-source artifacts, documents, and images will bring readers a vital, new understanding of this nation on the equator. |
