“…Popularly, these gatherings are known as bunge la mwananchi (the people's parliament). Much has already been written about bunge la mwananchi in Kenya, particularly its ‘transgressive’ style mimicking Kenya's official parliament (Kimari & Rasmussen 2010) and its aspirations towards performing a cosmopolitan post-ethnic citizenship (Rasmussen & Omanga 2012).

“…Par ailleurs, l'ouvrage engage à l'exploration de ce que permettent ou entrainent les journaux en termes de sociabilités, que ce soit à travers l'analyse des kamukunji d'Eldoret, ces parlements de lecteurs étudiés par Duncan Omanga dans le Kenya contemporain (déjà étudiés dans un article paru dans Politique africaine 4 , ou à travers celle des « sociabilités de l'imprimé » étudiées par Rebecca Jones dans le Nigeria des années 1930. Ces sociabilités sont mises en scène à travers la publication de récits de voyages et la description de successions de rencontres entre des animateurs de journaux et leurs lecteurs à travers le pays.…”
