Double-weighted statement
This monograph is just over 100,000 words long, and therefore the
equivalent of about 9-10 journal articles. The research that went into
it was conducted over a period of about five years, and included
hundreds of oral history interviews. Such interviews are laborious to
get (involving travel in rural Africa), to process (they need to be
transcribed and typed), and to interpret (both local idiosyncrasies of
Swahili, the language in which the interviews were conducted, and the personal agendas of respondents need to be examined).
