Focusing on the interplay between ecology and politics,
Pastoralists explores equality and hierarchy among pastoral peoples
as well as the linkages between pastoralists and states.. Drawing
upon the author's extensive field research among pastoral peoples
in the Middle East, India, and the Mediterranean, and on more than
30 years of comparative study of pastoralists around the world,
Pastoralists is an authoritative synthesis of the varieties of
pastoral life. At an ethnographic level, the concise volume
provides detailed analyses of divergent types of pastoral
societies, including segmentary tribes, tribal chiefdoms, and
peasant pastoralists. At the same time, it addresses a set of
substantive theoretical issues: ecological and cultural variation,
equality and inequality, hierarchy and the basis of power, and
state power and resistance. The book validates pastoralists as a
conceptual category even as it reveals the diversity of societies,
subsistence strategies, and power arrangements subsumed by that
term.
