Abstract	Traces the history of social studies curriculum in Africa, emphasizing three curriculum traditions: citizenship transmission, social science, and reflective inquiry. Discusses the Kenyan experience of integrating social studies into the curriculum, focusing on the change from a colonial educational system to one that reflects Kenyan values and traditions. Stresses that the overriding goal of social studies is citizenship education. (RW)
