Description:This book examines the social and political dimensions of Africa's current food and environmental crisis. It focuses on the changes and problems faced by the Il Chamus of Kenya, tracing the area's transformation from a food-surplus granary in the late nineteenth century to one that is dependent on food imports and aid. It argues that the current crisis among the region's herders is rooted in trends that preceded the droughts of the past decade. Such trends include the growth in absentee herd ownership, engagement in wage labor, and a form of sedentary pastoralism that overuses certain range areas while underusing others.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
