| dc.description.abstract | THE NATIVE SON: EXPERIENCES OF A KENYAN ENTREPRENEUR is a celebration of
the spirit of free enterprise; an insight into the policies and
philosophies that drive business, trade, industry, and enterprise in local
and global economies. The memoirs give testimony to the extent to which Dr
Joseph Barrage Wanjui’s life in the corporate world is intertwined with
Kenya’s economic path since independence. In the book, he speaks up for
the best of what multinational corporations have to offer and revels in
the joys of fatherhood.
The book is a riveting read. All generations will be provoked and
stimulated by Dr Wanjui’s narrative written in easy to read language.
Contemporaries will retrace their own lives as they walk with him through
colonialism to independence; from the nation-building years of Kenyatta
through the challenges of the Nyayo Era to the eventual rebuilding of the
country’s hopes under President Mwai Kibaki. In the academia, the work is
relevant to scholars in business studies, political science, history,
education, and literature | en_US |
