BRIDEWEALTH AND FEMALE CONSENT: MARRIAGE DISPUTES IN AFRICAN COURTS, GUSIILAND, KENYA This Article Draws in Part on My 2000 Northwestern University Dissertation, Girl Cases: Runaway Wives, Eloped Daughters and Abducted Women in Gusiiland, Kenya, C. 1900c. 1965, the Research for Which Was Supported by a Fellowship From the Academy of Educational Development. Support for the Collection of Further Court Files Was Provided by a 2001 Little-Griswold Research Grant From the American Historical Association. A Previous Version Was Presented to the ASA 2001 Annual Conference. For Their Comments, My Thanks to Jonathon Glassman, Jim Campbell, Karen Tranberg Hansen, John Rowe, Lynn Thomas, Iris Berger, the Audience at the ASA and the Anonymous JAH Reviewers. Special Thanks to Richard Roberts for His Comments and Encouragement.
