I always get blank stares whenever I suggest that we are society differentiated more sharply by class rather than ethnicity. In my view tribalism was invented in 1966 to blunt the nascent but portent threat of land based political agitation posed to KANU by Kenya People’s Union (KPU). Jomo Kenyatta’s characterization of Bildad Kaggia as a renegade who sided with Jaramogi Odinga to challenge him annihilated Kaggia politically and instituted tribalism as a virulent antidote for a proletariat, class grievance-based politics. Today tribalism is used as a platform for polarization and political mobilization to advance competing economic interests of establishment right wing versus anti-establishment more left wing. But the slothful credulous citizen is sold the bill of goods about their turn to eat every election cycle. envidevpolicy.org/2013/08/half-century-of-unreason.html
