«The Poor Are Not Us: Poverty and Pastoralism in Eastern Africa" is a book that explores how pastoralist communities in Eastern Africa perceive poverty and wealth, often defining themselves in opposition to non-pastoralist groups. The book delves into the social and cultural construction of poverty within these communities, examining how pastoralists view themselves and how they want to be seen by others. It challenges the notion of inherent egalitarianism within pastoralist societies and investigates the impact of changing resources and external influences on wealth distribution and identity.
The book, edited by David M. Anderson and Vigdis Broch-Due, is part of the Eastern African Studies series, published by Ohio University
Press in March 2000.
It examines the following key aspects:
- Self-perceptions and community consciousness:
The book investigates how pastoralists define themselves and their place within their communities, particularly in relation to wealth and poverty.
- Pastoralist identity formation:
It explores how pastoralist identity is shaped in contrast to other modes of production and social groups.
- External influences and changing patterns of wealth:
The book analyzes how factors like diminishing resources, changing land use, and external values impact wealth distribution and social structures within pastoralist communities.
Challenging the myth of pastoral egalitarianism:
It questions the assumption that pastoralist societies are inherently egalitarian and examines the realities of wealth and poverty within these communities.
- Social exclusion and the "poor":
The book investigates how poverty is defined and experienced by those excluded from the pastoralist way of life.
In essence, "The Poor Are Not Us" offers a nuanced understanding of poverty and identity in Eastern African pastoralist communities, moving beyond simplistic notions of egalitarianism and exploring the complex interplay of social, cultural, and economic factors.»
