За деньги и старейшины: ритуальный суверенитет и священное в Кении В этой увлекательной книге Роберт В. Блант углубляется в сложную историю Кении, исследуя запутанную сеть политических, экономических и религиозных символов, которые формируют жизнь простых кенийцев. Посредством детального анализа бурного прошлого и настоящего страны Блант раскрывает глубинные причины политической нестабильности, насилия и недоверия, которые преследуют нацию. Он утверждает, что ключ к пониманию проблем Кении заключается в понимании значения ритуального суверенитета и священного в повседневной жизни ее народа. В основе книги лежит концепция «старчества» - символа авторитета и мудрости, который на протяжении веков занимал центральное место в кенийском обществе. Блант показывает, как старость развивалась с течением времени, приспосабливаясь к меняющимся потребностям и желаниям людей, и как она продолжает формировать политический, экономический и религиозный ландшафт страны. Он также рассматривает роль денег и способность старейшин подделывать авторитет, подчеркивая напряженность между священным и профанным в кенийском обществе.
