The strong bonds between the Beni-Amer, their animals, and their environment constitute the basis of their ways of knowing, and much of their knowledge system is built on experience and embedded in their cultural practices. In this book, the first to study Beni-Amer practices, Zeremariam Fre argues for the importance of their knowledge, challenging the preconceptions that regard it as untrustworthy when compared to scientific knowledge from more developed regions. Empirical evidence suggests that there is much one could learn from the other, since elements of pastoralist technology, such as those related to animal production and husbandry, make a direct contribution to our knowledge of livestock production. It is this potential for hybridisation, as well as the resilience of the herders, at the core of the indigenous knowledge system. 606 $aDevelopment studies$2bicssc 606 $aFood & society$2bicssc 606 $aRural communities$2bicssc 606 $aAnthropology$2bicssc 606 $aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography$2bicssc 606 $aDevelopment economics & emerging economies$2bicssc 606 $aAgriculture & farming$2bicssc 610 $aCattle 610 $aAfrican cattle 610 $aHorn of Africa 610 $aBeni-Amer 610 $aEritrea 610 $aGrazing 610 $aLivestock 610 $aPastoralism 610 $aSudan 610 $aTraditional knowledge 615 7$aDevelopment studies 615 7$aFood & society 615 7$aRural communities 615 7$aAnthropology 615 7$aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography 615 7$aDevelopment economics & emerging economies 615 7$aAgriculture & farming 700 $aFre$b Zeremariam$4aut$01451286 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910280874703321 996 $aKnowledge Sovereignty Among African Cattle Herders$93651385 997 $aUNINA
