Jahazi Vol 4: Translating Knowledge:
Tributes & Remembering

 This issue of Jahazi remembers its founding Editor-in-Chief, Bantu Mwaura. It reflects on a life, and legacy cut tragically short. A life, moreover, that demonstrated a rare passion and an engagement with the pressing concerns of the post-colonial Kenya state.
