This book digs into the roots of student unrest and riots in Kenya’s boarding schools, showing how political shifts, social norms, and cultural attitudes shape student behavior.

It covers everything from early cases of unrest, student activism, and major riots to the influence of peer groups and the role of sexuality, including LGBTQ+ issues that often get swept under the rug.

You'll find real case studies of violence and arson, with an honest look at what sparks conflict — be it rumors, discrimination, or external pressures.

Plus, there's a solid focus on how policies, community perceptions, and mental health support can either prevent or escalate tension.

If you're interested in understanding the behind-the-scenes factors fueling school unrest, this book provides a straight talk on the issues at play.
