Originally published in 1989, this book examines how the
inter-ethnic relationships of the clans of the pastoral Rendille,
Gabbra, Sakuye and some Somalis of northern Kenya and southern
Ethiopia came about. It also examines the uses to which these
inter-ethnic relationships are put: for example in managing herds.
Oral history is combined with cultural comparison and the analysis
of social structure. Blending synchronic and diachronic
perspectives, the book synthesises historical ethnology in the
Continental tradition with social anthropology. Historically it
overturns some established ideas about how the Horn of Africa was
settled. Anthropologically it shows how relations may exceed the
bounds of the ethnic group as the conventional unit of study.
