| Sommario/riassunto: | A multi-disciplinary approach to studying ethnicity in Africa.Many of the people who identify themselves as Maasai, or who speak the Maa language, are not pastoralist at all, but framers and hunters. Over time many people have 'become' something else, adn what it means to be Maasai has changed radically over the past several centuries and is still changing today.This collection by historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and linguists examines how Maasai identity has been created, evoked, contested and transformed.North America: Ohio U Press; Tanzania: Mkuki na Nyota; Kenya: EAEP |
