Abstract
The paper evaluates spatial, behavioural, and material signal-ling of social class in African contexts, focusing on Kenya and Zambia. In particular, it draws on notions of mode of class signalling and intersectionality and a vignette of an interaction between urban-based Western educated develop-ment agents and local participants in rural Kenya to illustrate how social class is implicated in interactions.
