We arrived off the British Airways flight as scheduled at about 9pm from London. Here we were met by Anthony - an airport representative who assisted us with getting our visas and luggage. The line was pretty long and the visa process took about an hour. Afterwards, Rosemary and Nerea met us and transferred us to our first hotel located just outside of Nairobi - Karen Blixen Cottages. The room was spacious with a small sitting area, bed with mosquito netting, changing area and nice size bathroom. Jimmy and Lisa are the camp managers - they are a very nice couple and ran the camp well.

Extractions: Info, analysis, discussion to build a more just world JWN front page VISITING WITH THE MASAI VISITING WITH THE MASAI: Since I'm here in Arusha alone, I was looking for a good day-hike I could sign up with for yesterday, Sunday. Luckily, in the Tanzania Tourism Board office in town I found something much better: a "cultural tourism program" in the nearby Masai (Wa-arusha) village of Ilkiding'a.. What's more, on the brochure it said there was an option to walk to the starting point from the city. So I signed up. The TTB person said my guide would come and pick me up from the hotel. I was waiting to see if someone in full-scale red-and-blue Masai robesperhaps with the elaborately braided and decorated hair that I had seen on several Masai men around town would walk into the hotel lobby. But no. Jeremiah, when he came, was wearing jeans, tee-shirt, and sneakers. The main thing that stood out about him was his loping, loose-limbed walk. I should have realised: these people really know how to walk. They do it, after all, nearly all the time: up and down the foothills of Mount Meru where their villages lie, and where wheeled vehicles only rarely penetrate.

Extractions: In Politics of the Womb Through the example of the introduction of hospital maternity services in Central Kenya, Thomas enables us to see how African women and their reproductive capacities continued to remain at the center of political struggles over governance, gender roles, and generational relations. For black Kenyans, maternity wards and state-trained midwives raised questions about proper procreation. Initiation/female excision situated a girl-turned woman within the female hierarchy of her natal home; childbirth placed a woman within the female hierarchy of her marriage home. Hospital trained mid-wives then threatened the authority of older women (and men) who would no longer be able to oversee and therefore have exclusive control over birthing.

The Nairobi Arboretum, set in the centre of the capital of Kenya consists of 30 ha containing a large collection of trees and shrubs from the tropics both native and from throughout the world. It has developed from a trial arboretum at the beginning of the twentieth century to a green refuge from the bustle of the city and a place for learning about biodiversity. Nairobi, was developed to support the construction of the railway from Mombasa on the coast to the shores of Lake Victoria, the source of the Nile which the British colonists wanted to control. The area was known as Enkare Neerobi meaning a 'place of cool waters'. It was used by the Maasai people as a watering place for their cattle herds.
