Everyone "knows" the Maasai as proud pastoralists who once
dominated the Rift Valley from northern Kenya to central Tanzania.
But many people who identity themselves as Maasai, or who speak
Maa, are not pastoralist at all, but farmers and hunters. Over time
many different people have "become" something else. And what it
means to be Maasai has changed radically over the past several
centuries and is still changing today. This collection by
historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and linguists examines
how Maasai identity has been created, evoked, contested, and
transformed from the time of their earliest settlement in Kenya to
the present, as well as raising questions about the nature of
ethnicity generally.
