of northern Kenya, examining the making and re-making of the regional economy via
the trajectories of socio-material interaction that have structured key practices,
relationships and livelihoods over the past century. Traversing Turkana's constituent
livelihoods and examining the historical relationships between them in relation to
shifting economic, ecological and political factors, the book asks what perspective
emerges from an in-depth understanding of the everyday things that have taken part
in processes of substantial socio-cultural transformation. By setting out a series
of new examples established through long-term research in the region, it offers a
characterisation of Turkana's iterative transformation as the articulation of a set
of long-term continuities. Investigating quotidian personal and community histories,
it argues that Turkana's complex network of livelihood interactions has, on the whole,
strengthened over time through its continual reformulation, as identities, livelihood
practices and social institutions have been re-imagined and reshaped with each new
generation in order to reconstruct accumulated memory and knowledges. Remembering
Turkana provides a wide-ranging socio-historical overview of the Turkana region and
people, situating critical contemporary issues within diverse bodies of literature.
The characterisation of long-term change and continuity, as articulated and enacted
via material culture production, use and exchange, that it offers will be of significance
to a broad array of scholarly disciplines, including archaeology, history, anthropology
and political science"
