During the 1980s the term \"jua kali\" - in Swahili \"hot sun\" - came to be used of the informal sector artisans, such as carworkers and metalworkers, who were working under the hot sun because of a lack of premises. Gradually it came to refer to anybody in self-employment. And in 1988 the government set up the Jua Kali Development Programme. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this remarkable book Kenneth King brings the subject alive through the photographs and life histories of jua kali people. He has also revisited, twenty years later, many of the artisans whom he interviewed exhaustively in the period from 1972 to 1974 and about whom he wrote in \u003ci\u003eThe African Artisan\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the first full-length studies to be published on the informal sector. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For donors, NGOs, and national governments, the book offers many relevant examples, and some cautions, about what has been achieved by ordinary Kenyans, mostly without government support. It will prove equally valuable for students and teachers of development policy, technology policy, and education and training policies not least because of its superb bibliography of over 700 entries related to small enterprise development.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKenneth King\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of international and comparative education and the director of the Centre of African Studies in the University of Edinburgh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 8.42 x 5.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 1996\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53025339605299,"sku":"9780821411575","price":60.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/vOa_ZnXa8Z9780821411575.webp?v=1770232097","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/jua-kali-kenya-change-and-development-in-an-informal-economy-1970-1995-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
