African Images
This controversial book is an impassioned African response to the racial stereotyping of African people and people of African descent by prominent white scholars. It highlights how the media contributes to the growth of racist ideas, particularly in reporting current events in Africa, and demonstrates how some of America's most revered intellectuals cloak racist ideologies in ostensibly egalitarian discourses. The author seeks to rewrite the imag…

Persistent Pastoralists
Ideology, Religion, and Ilparakuyo-Maasai Resistance to Capitalist Penetration
RésuméLes idées et les rites religieux dominants dans les formations Masai Ilparakuyo sont dialectiquement liés à leur organisation basée sur l'âge. De la même façon, il existe une tension dynamique entre le système de l'âge, la descendance et les liens de parenté, et l'organisation territoriale. Pourtant, ces structures n'opèrent pas simplement de manière “cyclique” ou “conservatrice” pour reproduire une communauté statique; elles réagissent vis…
Class formation among East African pastoralists
A Response to a Review of My Book, Persistent Pastoralists
Pastoralism, Egalitarianism, and the State
Economics as Culture
Gudeman argues that economies and economic theories are social constructions, and that the central processes of making a livelihood are culturally modelled
Time and Historical Consciousness
In a manner somewhat unusual in anthropological discourse, most writers on the Maa-speaking peoples of Tanzania and Kenya include an early section or chapter on what is often called 'Maasai traditional history.' For example, in his pioneering work, 'An Administrative Survey of the Masai Social System,' Henry Fosbrooke (1948) devotes a leading and major section to Maasai history and, in a later publication, he deals explicitly with what he calls a…
Space, Time and Culture Among the Iraqw of Tanzania
Pastors and Pastoralists
The primary interest in this study is to make some contribution to the elaboration of a theoretical problem: What are the relations between certain forms of ideology and the social formations in which they are, or can be, realized? The consideration of ideology as a sociological category is of continual and growing concern (e.g., Moskvichov 1974; Bétaille 1978; Gellner 1978), despite the attempts of bourgeois social science to kill it off during …
Local Participation in National Politics
Opening ParagraphAny analysis of the process of political change is fraught with the danger of being rapidly rendered 'out of date'. This is particularly so if the analysis concerned relates to a decidedly dynamic and changing country such as Tanzania in which not only does a swift succession of historical events, both internal and external, alter the situation almost from day to day, but also where policy changes and new politico-economic orient…
Prophets, Diviners, and Prophetism
From an analysis of the rise of a politically important prophet in the recent history of Buganda, an attempt is made to demonstrate how the institutions of divination and prophetism are often closely interrelated in the contemporary African context. Some tentative generalizations about "African prophetism" are suggested. This analysis is set in the empirical situation of the divergent development of Kiganda "traditional" religion (a) in its publi…
Cattle and Kinship Among the Gogo
The Wahi Wanyaturu
Joking Relationships, Kin Categories, and Clanship among the Gogo
Opening ParagraphInstitutionalized 'joking relationships' occur between several different categories of kin and affines, and between groups or categories of varying inclusiveness. Thus brothers-in-law, mother's brothers and sister's sons, and kinsmen of alternate generations are frequent categories between whom joking relationships exist; and localities, villages, clans, and peoples or 'tribes' may have joking relationships with one another, vari…
Sailing from Lamu
Dual Symbolic Classification among the Gogo of Central Tanzania
Opening ParagraphSince the work of Durkheim and Mauss on systems of classification, it has generally been recognized that there is some structural relationship or 'concordance' between the social and symbolic orders of any society. The present analysis establishes a system of dual symbolic classification for an East Africa people and further indicates the widespread incidence of this type of classification in Africa (cf. Needham, 1960a; Beidelman…
