Rahma Hassan, CASAS’ member, and colleagues have just published a new article in Nomadic People.
Their article examines the process of securing land rights for pastoralists in Kenya, applying the concept of sedentism to understand the impact of two recent changes in Kenyan land governance. Drawing on fieldwork among pastoralists living in Samburu County in Northern Kenya, they show that despite ostensibly aiming to empower local pastoralist communities and provide better recognition of their land rights, these two changes interact to promote the sedentarisation of pastoralists.
