- W8956810 abstract "The 1968 Olympic Games are often regarded as the point of ‘take-off’ for theeast African domination of middle-and long-distance running. At these Gamesathletes from Ethiopia and Kenya dominated most of the races that hadtraditionally been the preserve of European runners. The relative dominance ofKenyan running, in particular, is referred to in several of the chapters in thisbook but little work has been done to explore the antecedents and genesis of this cultural phenomenon. In this chapter I stress the cultural character of Kenyan running – the making of it by colonial policies and prejudices – and I seek to deny the existence of what are sometimes termed ‘natural athletes’. In a sense, therefore, this chapter blurs the distinction explicit in the binary ofnature-culture (or nature-nurture). In my exploration of pre-and early modernKenyan running my approach is to explore the ways in which (mainly) colonialwriters represented this body culture." @default.
