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.
