Many tongues, one nation is a powerful celebration of Kenya’s constitutional journey, told through the voices of its diverse peoples. By translating the Preamble of the Constitution of Kenya into select indigenous languages, this volume restores dignity to mother tongues too often marginalised in law, politics, and governance. It reminds us that the Constitution is not merely a legal document but a shared national covenant, rooted in the histories, aspirations, and everyday lives of the general populace across communities. This book is both a scholarly contribution and a cultural milestone. It calls upon us to re-imagine constitutionalism as a living, inclusive practice – where language is not a barrier but a bridge. For students, practitioners, and the public alike, Many tongues, one nation offers a bold affirmation that Kenya’s unity is strongest when it embraces its plurality.
