Pastoralism in Tropical Africa: Studies Presented and Discussed at the Xiiith International African Seminar, Niamey, December 19

Originally published in 1975, the papers collected in this volume review African pastoralism in both West and East Africa, in relation to economy, ecology, social and community organisation, kinship, inter-group relations, modern administrative attitudes and policies and problems of development. The challenges confronting peoples and cultures in Africa which practise pastoralism are discussed.
