Debating Ideas reflects the values and editorial ethos of the African Arguments book series, publishing engaged, often radical, scholarship, original and activist writing from within the African continent and beyond. It offers debates and engagements, contexts and controversies, and reviews and responses flowing from the African Arguments books. It is edited and managed by the International African Institute, hosted at SOAS University of London, the owners of the book series of the same name.

Before 1934, Kibore Cheruiyot Ng’asura’s life was peaceful. As a teenager, he spent most of his time looking after his family’s livestock. He is Kipsigis, the largest subgroup of the Kalenjin who migrated to the Rift Valley in present-day Kenya centuries ago. Ngasura is also a member of the clan that was once the most powerful among the Kipsigis: the Talai.
