Africa Rising?
..a story of peoples' ingenuity, perseverance and capacity for concerted action that contrasts with the prevailing image of the region. * DEVELOPMENT & CHANGE *
Little's investigation of the changing fortunes of cattle-herders and traders involved in Kenyan-Somali cross-border trade is quite a masterpiece. He diligently interweaves historical, ecological, social, and political events into a comprehensive account of the Lower Jubba region's pastoral economy. -- Tobias Hagmann * AFRICAN AFFAIRS *
... an important book about commerce and authority in a contemporary stateless society. ... a work that should appeal to a wide readership beyond those concerned with Somalia or pastoralists. -- William Reno * MODERN AFRICAN STUDIES *
