About the Book

This book explores pastoralist/ farmers' approaches to environmental disaster management in East Africa, charting their responses and adaptations to famine, pandemics, natural disasters, and historical events. Using a dynamic adaptive cycle theoretical framework, it uses social memory to reconstruct an 'event history calendar', thus combining social memory and written historical records to reconstruct the adaptive strategies of pastoralists. It explores the climate history of the southern Ethiopian and northern Kenyan frontier, considering, in particular, the impact of the colonial period and independence thereafter, providing a significant contribution to debates in African environmental history.

Review :
“The historical events each chapter describes and the different forms of adaptation are put into the context of meteorological events. … The author envisages the immediate use of the book as a foundational text for a pastoralist training centre in the Obbu Boran region. In this context, too, it will be a source of inspiration and the rich information the book provides bodes well for the success of this enterprise.” (Günther Schlee, Nomadic Peoples, May 1, 2025)
