Mombasa is an ancient port city on the east coast of Africa. Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya. Overlooking the Indian Ocean, it is a lively and fervent metropolis that is overflowing with color and contrast. Mombasa’s diverse multicultural community is made up of people of various religious backgrounds, such as Christians, Muslims, and Hindus. The people hail from a mixture of tribal and ethnic roots. Such diversity makes for an interesting place full of very interesting people with a deep understanding of community, tolerance, and cooperation. The images in this book were captured on four separate trips to Mombasa and surrounding areas over a five-year period from 2009–2014.

How realistic is it to expect translation to render the world intelligible in a context shaped by different historical trajectories and experiences? Can we rely on human universals to translate through the unique and specific webs of meaning that languages represent? If knowledge production is a kind of translation, then it is fair to assume that the possibility of translation has largely rested on the idea that Western experience is the repository of these human universals against the background of which different human experiences can be rendered intelligible. The problem with this assumption, however, is that there are limits to Western claims to universalism, mainly because these claims were at the service of the desire to justify imperial expansion. This book addresses issues arising from these claims to universalism in the process of producing knowledge about diverse African social realities. It shows that the idea of knowledge production as translation can be usefully deployed to inquire into how knowledge of Africa translates into an imperial attempt at changing local norms, institutions and spiritual values. Translation, in this sense, is the normalization of meanings issuing from a local historical experience claiming to be universal. The task of producing knowledge of African social realities cannot be adequately addressed without a prior critical engagement with how translation has come to shape our ways of rendering Africa intelligible.
