The book is built around a discussion of the career paths of mature students at the College of Social Studies at Kikuyu, Kenya in the 1960s - a time of rapid social and political change. The College worked within the liberal tradition and its one-year course was similar to those of UK residential colleges like Ruskin. A framework for analysis is developed, applicable to adult education programmes in any context, and based on 10 'conditions' for sustainability. The case study is relevant to current debates and discourses on the future direction of adult education - such as access and widening provision, and its role in developing citizenship.
Readership: adult educators interested in policy, comparative studies
and international issues in civic education and access; students of institutional change
and of African social and political development.
