内容説明

African pastoralists have been devastated by drought, famine and dislocation, yet herding remains the most viable system of support for the inhabitants of the vast arid and semi-arid zones. Using case studies of the Tswana and the San, the interlacustrine pastoralists, the Masai and Mursi of East Africa, and the multi-ethnic regional systems of Lake Turkana, the Upper Nile, and the Lake Chad Basin, this volume demonstrates the significant impact that pastoralists have had throughout conflict and migration, and in providing a legitimate economic alternative to settled agriculture.
