项目摘要

AHRC PhD Studentship in collaboration with Imperial War Museums (IWM) and the University of WarwickThe project will examine the aftermath and legacies of the Mau Mau War in Kenya, and will contribute to IWM's collections-building in partnership with Kenyan-based organisations, the development of its public programme, and to wider conversations about the way in which countries of the former British Empire are represented and engaged with in UK museums more broadly.The Mau Mau Insurgency and the violence of the British counterinsurgency campaign politicised hundreds of thousands of Kenyans and shaped their expectations of independence. Counterinsurgency methods such as villagisation and the punitive use of land reform influenced the nature of post-colonial society for decades to come. Returning to an earlier generation of scholarship this project will explore the ways in which the conflictinformed grassroots political action by veterans of the war and sympathisers with their cause.Potential strands for research include examining the role of Mau Mau activists within the local politics of Kenyan nationalism in the years immediately before and after independence; the role of activists within opposition and radical politics through the 1960s; and the place ofwomen activists within non-formal political organisations in the late 1950s and early 1960s.This studentship will help IWM to amplify under-represented voices within its collections by exploring the cultural and social changes-both in Britain and crucially in the former colonies themselves-that accompanied the 'retreat from Empire' and the consequent radical shift inBritain's role in the world. There is a small window of opportunity to discover, acquire and preserve for posterity material from veterans (in the broadest sense) of the complex conflict in Kenya, and to contextualise their stories within more expansive narratives that bring into focus their contribution to shaping the world. The studentship would specifically enhance and expand IWM's holdings relating to post-1945 conflict, by targeting partnerships in Kenya and through dialogue with communities in Britain. This would include, but not be limited to, the collection of oral history, and would include the opportunity to shape dialogues around whether and how UK institutions can and should collect physical material-ephemera, clothing, private papers, imagery etc. The research would assist IWM in meeting the needs of its diverse audiences-now and in the future-through a variety of public programme outputs.

AHRC博士奖学金与帝国战争博物馆（IWM）和华威大学合作该项目将研究肯尼亚茅茅战争的后果和遗产，并将有助于IWM的收藏建设与肯尼亚的组织合作，其公共计划的发展，以及关于前大英帝国国家在英国博物馆中的代表和参与方式的更广泛的对话。茅茅起义和英国的反叛乱运动使成千上万的肯尼亚人政治化，并塑造了他们对独立的期望。镇压叛乱的方法，如村庄化和惩罚性的土地使用改革影响了后殖民社会的性质几十年来。返回到早期的奖学金，这个项目将探讨如何在冲突中形成基层政治行动的退伍军人和同情者与他们的cause.Potential股的研究，包括审查茅茅活动家在肯尼亚民族主义的地方政治中的作用，在几年前和独立后立即; 20世纪60年代激进分子在反对派和激进政治中的作用;以及20世纪50年代末和60年代初妇女活动家在非正式政治组织中的地位。通过探索文化和社会的变化，在英国和重要的前殖民地本身，伴随着“从帝国撤退”和随之而来的英国在世界上的角色的根本转变，代表了其收藏中的声音。有一个小窗口的机会来发现，获取和保存后代的材料从退伍军人（在最广泛的意义上）在肯尼亚的复杂冲突，并在更广泛的叙述，使重点关注他们的贡献塑造世界的背景下他们的故事。该奖学金将通过针对肯尼亚的伙伴关系和通过与英国社区的对话，具体加强和扩大IWM与1945年后冲突有关的财产。这将包括，但不限于，口述历史的收集，并将包括围绕英国机构是否以及如何能够和应该收集物理材料，蜉蝣，服装，私人文件，图像等的研究将有助于IWM在满足其不同的观众的需求，现在和未来，通过各种公共方案的输出塑造对话的机会。
