The Practice of War: Production, Reproduction and Communication of Armed Violence
The fact is that war comes in many guises and its effects continue to be felt long after peace is proclaimed. This challenges the anthropologists who write of war as participant observers. Participant observation inevitably deals with the here and now, with the highly specific. It is only over the long view that one can begin to see the commonalities that emerge from the different forms of conflict and can begin to generalize. [From the Introduct…
Low-intensity violence and the social determinants of adolescent health among three East African pastoralist communities
Comparative nutritional indicators as markers for resilience: The impacts of low-intensity violence among three pastoralist communities of northern Kenya
We present results from a collaborative project on the consequences of endemic violence in the pastoralist zone of Northern Kenya. Drawing on our ethnographically driven epidemiological approach, we examine the differential cost of violence by examining household nutrition. The case/control approach we employ draws data from six sites that are culturally similar but differ in the degree of exposure to, or relative insulation from, violence. As on…
Inscribing Identity and Agency on the Landscape: Of Pathways, Places, and the Transition of the Public Sphere in East Pokot, Kenya
Drawing upon the dynamic interrelationship between human agency and space, this article sheds light on the constitution of and relation between "place" and "path" among the pastoral Pokot of East Pokot District in the Kenyan North Rift Valley. It discusses the transformation from a more mobile pastoralist model of spatialization, which relies on a flexible network approach combining paths and places, toward a more "place-making," postpastoralist …
From Cattle to Goats: The Transformation of East Pokot Pastoralism in Kenya
Once the epitome of a perceived 'resistance to change' among East African pastoralists, Pokot pastoralism has changed rapidly and profoundly in recent years. In less than two decades, the pastoral economy of the eastern Pokot, which constitutes the focus of this contribution, transformed from specialized, highly mobile and subsistence-oriented cattle herding to largely sedentary and marketoriented keeping of small stock. The transformation proces…
