A study of the longue durée of a marginalized part of northern
Kenya, examining the process of territorialization and the role of
Islam in politicizing ethnicity. The recent ethnic violence in
Kenya has been preceded by a process of territorialization and
politicization of ethnicity. This study examines a marginalized
part of Kenya, the semi-arid north inhabited by pastoralists of
three language groups - speakers of Oromo, Somali, and Rendille. It
spans different periods of time, from early processes of ethnic
differentiation between groups, through the colonial period when
differences were reflected in administrative policies, to recent
times, when global minority discourses, particularly those related
to Islam, are tapped by local political agents and ethnic
entrepreneurs. A companion volume to Pastoralism and Politics in
Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia, this book is based on over
thirty-four years of field research and synthesizes findings from
history and political anthropology. Günther Schlee is director of
the Department of 'Integration and Conflict', Max Planck Institute
for Social Anthropology, Halle, Germany; Abdullahi Shongolo is an
independent scholar based in Kenya.
