| dc.description.abstract | Marginalization of women in sports management in Kenya has a long history.
However, the existing literature on the subject overlooks the interplay of ideology and
elitism in gendering inequality in sports management in colonial Kenya. This article
delves into the evolution of sports during the colonial period to understand the impact
of the interplay between ideology and elitism on gendering sports management. It
examines data preserved in official records, newspapers/magazines and views and
recollections of knowledgeable informants. The article established that ideology and
elitism combined with evolving social and political meaning of sports to advantage the
colonial political class in top decision-making levels of sports management. At
independence the white political class in sports management was replaced by an
African one, community development officers and, sportspersons transitioning to sports
administration. These developments gave Kenyan men long head-starts in the
management of sports as the country transitioned to independence. | en_US |
