Here's my new article in Africa: “Mobility and Marginalization via the Nairobi Expressway” (@CambridgeUP). A literary reading that borrows @DavidNdii & @wmnjoya #UpperDeckPeopleKE to read how infrastructure shapes urban exclusion.

When Kenyan influencers hit Tel Aviv’s Carmel Market, the whole place lit up.
Swahili songs, spontaneous dancing, shopkeepers filming, tourists joining in — Nairobi energy in the heart of TLV.
A beautiful reminder of how joyful cultural encounters can be. 🇰🇪🇮🇱

The State will never cede before it gets what it wants.
Benevolently give them a drop of water but after you've milked the wells dry.

Today Kenyans provided a masterclass in how to protest:
The sharing of information & advice online.
Lawyers/medics being available to assist.
The solidarity from some businesses&places of worship.
The commitment to peaceful protest.

The Annual Swahili Colloquium is here! @unibt this week! I'm humbled to give the opening speech, but my highlight really is the chance to moderate a conversation on Decolonising the Mind between Mwalimu Abdilatif Abdalla and @NgugiWaThiongo_ ⭐️
