"Hunting for sport attracted many of the earliest explorers, settlers, and administrators to British East Africa. The field of play became one of settlement and gave rise to safari tourism, which was initially an elite, hunting-centred pursuit. As in British India, one wonders how some hunting-mad officials found time to do their jobs. Kenya became a byword for big game hunting and its associated glamour. This image was sealed by former US President Theodore Roosevelt’s 1909 ‘paradigmatic excursion’ to East Africa, in which 512 wild animals were bagged by Roosevelt and his son Kermit — ostensibly for ‘scientific’ purposes. European hunters displaced and overshadowed African hunters, who were progressively criminalized as poachers and saw their traditions erased. Europeans as colonials, settlers and hunters desperately tried to suppress such native hunters as they sought mastery and hegemony over the wealth of those sporting fields. Both black and white hunters are part of the story of hunting in Kenya, but until now, little has been written about the former, and the complex relationship between the two groups. This is the first study to examine the history of hunting in Kenya by both Africans and whites." http://books.google.com.au/boo...#v=onepage&q&f=false | ||
