Abstract
This policy brief is divided into three parts: research findings, policy analysis, and recommendations. Daily political and social processes determine what Kenya and Kenyans are becoming. The place where this becoming started was with colonial conquest and the resistance to conquest. The government needs to build institutions that nurture the direct participation in governance of the country by grass roots Kenyans, as well as by addressing the land question in order to reduce biases that reify ethnic identities and violence.
