Items related to Warrior Herdsmen: Six Months with the Dodoth of Northern...
Synopsis
The personal journal of a young American woman who lived for six months amongst the Dodoth cattle-herdsmen in Northern Uganda, while they were caught up in an escalating cycle of violence with their age-old rivals, the Turkana tribe. The tension of this feud was the tradition of cattle raiding, but it escalated to unprecedented levels of violence when the then new states of Uganda and Kenya were drawn in to police these ancient clan frontiers. Thomas's total immersion in the life of this tribe in 1961 takes us with her, as with clarity and a lyrical eye for detail she brings their whole culture alive. Though not an academic, she had spent much time in the field with her mother, who was the world's leading authority on the Bushman of the Kalahari. So it was natural for her to take her own young children on this adventure, where she proves herself a brave, humane, and unshockable witness to the life of the warrior herdsman.

From the Back Cover
The Dodoth- a tall, handsome people of the northern trip of Uganda- are a tribe transition. They are proud, often cruel, warrior herdsmen whose oldest members live just as they did hundreds of years ago, but whose younger members sometimes learn to read and write and have brushed against the modern world. Elizabeth Thomas accompanied three anthropological expeditions to Africa and lived among the Dodoth. She displays a remarkable ability to communicate with the tribespeople and describe their lives and customs.
About the Author
Born in 1931, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas s is best known for her writings on animals. As she has said One of the things I learned from the Kalahari is that we are animals; the Bushmen lived as other savannah animals do, and we as a species come from that Old Way.
