ABSTRACT
Kenya is no longer White Man’s Country2 but its economic structure, its economic and social policies, and the form and function of the international aid it has received and is receiving are deeply affected by its history as a land of European and Asian settlement. Before Kenya achieved national independence in December 1963, a fundamental determinant of the nature of its economy and of the policies of its government was the existence of wealthy and-by tropical African standards-relatively large non-African communities.
