The scientific authority which it carries should be a help to social anthropologists, and others who have to try and persuade rangeland and ranching experts, economists, development agencies, and schooled and urbanised politicians, that pastoralists, if only they are encouraged to exercise their skills, can be national economic assets and not just tourist baits. -Social Anthropology One of the book's greatest strengths is its demonstration of a sophisticated analysis of human ecology, using a holistic approach that integrates findings from geology, botany, geography, and social anthropology....Majok and Schwabe's approach to development planning and implementation is a radical departure from existing practices, and is based on the pragmatic recognition of several major problems. -African Studies Quarterly It would be impossible to exaggerate the importance of the problems raised by Majok and Schwabe. -International Journal of African Historical Studies ?Majok...and Schwabe...provide an overview of contemporary African pastoralists living in arid and semiarid environments, with an in-depth focus on the Dinka of southern Sudan, the Maasai and Turkana of Kenya, and the Somali....
