The Poor Are Not Us: Poverty and Pastoralism in Eastern Africa de David M. Anderson

The Poor Are Not Us: Poverty and Pastoralism in Eastern Africa: Eastern African Studies

Autor David M. Anderson Contribuţii de Vigdis Broch-Due
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2000
Eastern African pastoralists often present themselves as being egalitarian, equating cattle ownership with wealth. By this definition “the poor are not us”, poverty is confined to non-pastoralist, socially excluded persons and groups.

Exploring this notion means discovering something about self-perceptions and community consciousness, how pastoralist identity has been made in opposition to other modes of production, how pastoralists want others to see them and how they see themselves.

This collection rejects the premise of pastoral egalitarianism and poses questions about the gradual creep of poverty, changing patterns of wealth and accumulation, the impact of diminishing resources on pastoral communities and the impact of external values of land, labor, and livestock.

Recenzii

“This book’s great merit is to have managed to make the study of what are minority communities in eastern Africa interesting and relevant to those who are concerned with the ways in which the continent has tackled the thorny question of 'devel

“…Anderson and Broch–Due have assembled an insightful collection on the causes of poverty among pastoralists, its history and extent in East Africa, the cultural meanings and conceptualizations of poverty, and the complex relationships among poverty, livelihood, and ethnic identity. It is essential reading for students of East African pastoralist societies.”—Roderick Neumann, Florida International University, African Affairs

Descriere

Eastern African pastoralists often present themselves as being egalitarian, equating cattle ownership with wealth. By this definition “the poor are not us”, poverty is confined to non-pastoralist, socially excluded persons and groups.

Exploring this notion means discovering something about self-perceptions and community consciousness, how pastoralist identity has been made in opposition to other modes of production, how pastoralists want others to see them and how they see themselves.

This collection rejects the premise of pastoral egalitarianism and poses questions about the gradual creep of poverty, changing patterns of wealth and accumulation, the impact of diminishing resources on pastoral communities and the impact of external values of land, labor, and livestock.
