Reviews

This is an important and original book on the hitherto little studied, but critically significant subject of banking. Christian Velasco has written an illuminating book that promises to make us think differently about colonialism and decolonisation in Kenya. Daniel Branch, University of Warwick, UK Velasco’s is the first book that directly addresses the transition of commercial banking in a country that has become a reference, specifically thanks to the huge success of Mpesa to alleviate financial inclusion. This offers a window in to the broader issue of how capitalism arrived and evolved in Sub-sharan Africa. A detailed and well-documented story that will be of interest to scholars and practitioners alike. Bernardo Batiz-Lazo, Northumbria University, UK & Universidad Anahuac, Mexico
