Sana Aiyar chronicles the strategies by which Indians sought a political voice in Kenya, from the beginning of colonial rule to independence. She examines how the strands of Indians' diasporic identity influenced Kenya's leadership-from partnering with Europeans to colonize East Africa, to collaborating with Africans to battle racial inequality.
