Uncertain Tastes: Memory, Ambivalence, and the Politics of Eating in Samburu, Northern Kenya
Jon Holtzman
An ethnography of Samburu cattle herders in northern Kenya that examines the effects of an epochal shift in their basic diet - from a regimen of milk, meat, and blood to one of purchased agricultural products. It uses food as a way to contextualize and measure the profound changes occurring in Samburu social and material life.
