He has played a key role in the modern political life of Kenya. This timely biography gives an overview of politics in Kenya over the last sixty years, and traces Raila's role in them.
The author is a political scientist who seeks to explain and assess Raila's political life. He covers background about the Luo, Raila's background and inheritance as the son of a prominent political leader, the one-party state by fiat, the failed coup, detention, exile & return, cooperation with KANU, the Rainbow Alliance, Kibaki's succession in 2002, Raila as a Minister.
An epilogue gives verbatim extracts from many of those interviewed, including Raila himself. Babafemi Badejo is a political scientist and lawyer, a past University senior lecturer from Nigeria, and worked from Nairobi for a decade. "His achievement is to render accessible both the complex political history of Kenya and the personal story of one of the most influential and controversial actors on the contemporary Kenyan political scene. "Raila Odinga: An Enigma in Kenyan Politics" is an excellent introduction for the uninitiated to the complex landscape of Kenyan politics." - Dr.
Jeremy Matam Farrall, University of Tasmania, Australia "The quest for democracy in Kenya is illuminated by this empathetic account of the travails of an intrepid politician." Richard L. Sklar, Emeritus Professor, University of California Los Angelos "Raila Odinga is a poster politician in Kenya, and, indeed, in any African country.
Given the crisis of political leadership in Africa and the burning quest for alternative political leadership on the continent, Raila Odinga's biography provides an interesting case study that in part provides for for serious thought on both issues." Dr. Willy Mutunga, former Executive Director, Kenya Human Rights Commission. "I found this book very absorbing, and a sympathetic portrayal of an African post-independence leader from an African perspective.
As such, I think it is of great interest." David Stephen, former Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Somalia and later Guinea-Bissau

The perilous environment surrounding Sandra put her between a rock and a hard place. Aiden too navigates through puzzling circumstances trying to save Sandra who was running from predicaments that unsympathetically never seemed to give her space to breathe.
Even after an accident and Aiden’s leg is amputated-he didn’t lose hope; he optimistically went after Sandra just to bring her back home, to dry her tears, tears that he made her shed; he was in love. At last, Sandra, Aiden and Eleanor Agnes Odin-Aiden’s mother, found peace, love and acceptance.
They then swore never to run away but rather face the vicious world and it’s nefariousness with courage and presumptuousness. A new life begins when Sandra and Aden get a fruit of their loins-Grace.

The missing links by Tobias Otieno
The events of this novel are played out against a background of tension and contradiction between the rural and urban experience, squalor and affluence, reality and superstition. Nyakane, a high- school student in Nairobi, falls pregnant and is forced to return to Odendo, village of her husband's forefathers. In the harsh conditions of the village, where the land is unfertile and gold-mining is the only lucrative activity, and educated people are considered dissenters, Nyakane is faced with a world of social taboo, poverty and perpetual disease.
Tobias Odongo Otieno, in this, his first novel, portrays the dislocation of the villagers and the city dwellers, and the different generations with humorous affection.
He is fearless in satirizing the superstition and taboo born of ignorance, or hypocritical religion, in his quest for a sharpened, more truthful perception of a society in change.
