This is the personal journal of a young American woman, living for
six months amongst the Dodoth cattle-herdsmen in Northern Uganda.
It is also an adventure story, for during this period the Dodoth
were caught up in an escalating cycle of violence with their
age-old rivals, the Turkana tribe. The animating tension of this
feud was the tradition of cattle raiding, but it escalated to
unprecedented levels of violence when the new nation states of
Uganda and Kenya were drawn in to police these ancient clan
frontiers. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas s total immersion in the life
of this tribe in 1961 takes us with her, as with clarity and a
lyrical eye for detail she brings their whole culture alive. For
though she was not an academic herself, she had spent much time in
the field with her mother, who was the world s leading authority on
the Bushman of the Kalahari. So it was natural for Elizabeth
Marshall Thomas to take her own young children on this adventure,
where she proves herself such a brave, humane and unshockable
witness to the life of the warrior herdsmen.
