Being Maasai Becoming Indigenous: Postcolonial PoliƟ cs in a Neoliberal World, by Dorothy Hodgson, 2011, 288pp, Indiana University Press. Review by Brian Geyer, Doctoral Student, Department of Anthropology, Michigan State University.

In her book Being Maasai Becoming Indigenous: Postcolonial PoliƟ cs in a Neoliberal World, Dorothy Hodgson tracks and analyzes how Maasai ac vists in Tanzania have posi oned, and then reposi oned, themselves within the Tanzanian na on-state. Hodgson draws upon her extensive experience in development work and research among Tanzanian Maasai. She creates for herself a new type of site for ethnographic inquiry, which she terms “nodal ethnography” (pp. 17–18), whereby organiza ons and individuals each serve as a point of networked intersec ons for analysis. Ul mately Hodgson shows how Maasai ac vists engaged with the global indigenous network as a means of posi oning themselves as seeking “indigenous rights” from the Tanzanian government, but later reposi oned themselves as desiring to maintain “pastoralist livelihoods” as a way of reducing the confronta onal nature of their rights claims with the government (pp. 213). Hodgson begins by outlining the history of Maasai ac vists posi oning themselves as indigenous. She shows how the indigenous label came to be viewed globally as an acceptable one for specifi c African peoples, including the Maasai. By adop ng the indigenous label, Maasai ac vists connected themselves to the global indigenous ac vist network as a means of gaining access to the plethora of resources available within it. Hodgson briefl y covers the history of the Maasai iden ty construc on through colonial occupa on, moving on to discuss how the Maasai iden ty allowed ac vists to ini ally adopt the indigenous label and develop nongovernmental organiza ons (NGOs) around it as a response to the global prolifera on of resources available for NGOs—and especially indigenous NGOs. These NGOs, Hodgson shows, grappled with one another in compe on for the ability to represent the Maasai iden ty both na onally and globally and to build what one chapter tle calls “Precarious Alliances” with transna onal indigenous organiza ons (pp. 105). However, their a empts to claim rights as an indigenous people were met with hos lity by the Tanzanian government; a er all, many government offi cials would repeat the claim that “‘we are all indigenous in Africa’” (pp. 27). Finally, Hodgson shows how ac vists have ul mately reposi oned themselves as seeking the right to maintain pastoral livelihoods, as well as how they have rebranded their NGOs as civil society organiza ons, a posi oning and rebranding that has been met with far less hos lity in Tanzania since it does not u lize the indigenous label, nor does it involve a global alliance of indigenous rights ac vists. Hodgson’s analysis does a wonderful job of turning a cri cal eye to the poli cs involved in NGO construc on in Tanzania. By highligh ng the various conten ons between NGOs with regards to such topics as women’s rights and community development, Hodgson renders visible the poli cal calcula ons made by those running various NGOs and their o en personal mo va ons for connec ng to the interna onal indigenous community. Her construc on of the “posi onings” concept is especially useful as it makes clear that groups and individuals can posi on and reposi on themselves strategically with regard to the percep ons of their posi oning by others (pp. 4). On a more cri cal note, Hodgson does not go deeply enough in outlining the Maasai iden ty construc on and their historical marginaliza on. Those that have not read her fi rst book, Once Intrepid Warriors, will not know quite how thorough an argument can be made for historical marginaliza on of the Maasai within Tanzania. Without such depth in this work, Hodgson is asking readers to accept the full severity of her claim of Maasai marginaliza on, a crucial component to her explora on of the tension between Maasai ac vists and the Tanzanian state. However, when taken in the context of her other works, Being Maasai Becoming Indigenous is an excellent addi on to the discussion of Maasai iden ty construc on and its importance in rights claims with the Tanzanian government. 2299 If there are any changes to your address, please provide our offi ce with a correc on: Email: bulle [email protected] • Telephone: 517-353-5040 • Fax: 517-432-4845
