Kenya has been the object of much controversy among students of African politics. Some view it as one of the greatest "successes" of the post-independence period; others see it as an example of all that is wrong with African development. Henry Bienen approaches this controversy by asking whether the concept of political participation has been properly understood in the African context. His case study of political participation in Kenya discusses administration, party politics, ethnicity, and class. He suggests that in a system dominated by elites, individuals and groups exert influence primarily through patron-client networks and local administrative and party organs. Local politics is the most important arena for most people, it is argued. As long as the regime adopts policies which maximize economic growth and take account of peasant middle and small holders, and as long as individual representatives can be replaced even though no change of regime occurs, limited political participation leads to political stability.

How do various works on violence clarify thinking about change, and, in particular, thinking about what is called modernization? In Violence and social change, Henery Bienen reviews present scholarly knowledge about violence so that the relationship of that knowledge to the subject of modernization can be discussed. The material incorporated in this volume was originally presented to the study group on violent politics and modernization at the Adlai Stevenson Institute of International affairs in October, 1967. The aim of the group was to analyze rapid, fundamental, world wide and often violent change. Bien introduces his work with a discussion of some of the problems he encountered in organizing and selecting his material. In the work itself, Buenen looks at writing on (1)ghetto violence, but not tactical violence per se; (2) internal war, including guerrilla warfare and counterinsurgency, civil war, coups, and riots; (3)revolution; (4)works dealing with the structure of violence, typologies of violence, and the romance of violence; (5)totalitarianism. In his conclusion, Bienen suggests areas for further study toward the end of defining social changes and analyzing the consequences of violence. As he states in his conclusion, "I am convinced of the need for improving on analysis of violence and change by creating conceptual frameworks in which violence and modernization are not thought of as separate categories and separate areas of study.... For once we specify what we mean be change, we may then begin to look at the place of violence in the changes we specify.
