• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book represents a collective effort by ten social scientists with long experience in the Horn of Africa to portray the marginalisation and deprivation of the pastoralist population in that region. It includes casestudies from the Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya, as well as a casestudy from Mali, included for purposes of comparison with another region of Africa. The central issue addressed by the contributors is the political consequence of the decline of pastoralism in a region ravaged by conflict.
