The thesis examines the "Tom Mboya Airlifts", a scholarship program which took place in 1959, 1960 and 1961 and sent Kenyans to study in North American universities. The "Airlifts" serve as a case study, and are used to illustrate particular aspects of the relationship between "pre-modern" social structures--known as the "economy of affection"--and the particular form of capitalism that developed in Kenya after independence.
