MahmOUD BREAKING BARRIERS: THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BURJI IDENTITY THROUGH LIVESTOCK TRADE IN NORTHERN KENYA Halle / Saale 2009 ISSN 1615-4568 Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, PO Box 110351, 06017 Halle / Saale, Phone: +49 (0)345 2927- 0, Fax: +49 (0)345 2927- 402, http://www.eth.mpg.de, e-mail: [email protected] Breaking Barriers: the construction of a new Burji identity through 1 livestock trade in northern Kenya Hussein A. Mahmoud 2 Abstract This paper examines how the British-Burji encounter at the beginning of the first half of the 20th century in a remote borderland area in northern Kenya shaped the social and economic structures of the Burji community extending into the post-colonial era. The expansion of the colonial administration in Kenya had tremendous impact on the social, economic, and political fabric of the communities encountered. Instances of collaboration and sometimes fierce resistance from local residents were not uncommon. A wide range of factors are at the core of the emergence of a new Burji identity in northern Kenya in the past couple of decades. Historically, the Burji community in both southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya had unpleasant interactions with state structures and institutions and continues to endure adverse policies aimed at alienating it. These interactions are perceived as an extension of the colonial legacy. Using historical and extended fieldwork data collected in 2001–02 and in 2006–07, the paper argues that the emergent new identity through dominance in livestock trading and mercantile activity and the community’s determination to occupy an economically-powerful position in a politically-volatile environment are products of the historical and contemporary marginalisation policies that the colonial administration and post- colonial state and institutions, respectively, upheld against the Burji community in northern Kenya.

Opiyo Regional Beaural for East and Central Africa United Nations-World Food Programmes- WFP P.O BOX 2365 Nairobi- 00621, KENYA Abstract Drought is a major threat to water sources in the world. It causes variation in volumes of water flow. Once compounded with other factors, water scarcity arises. However, perceptions of households on the impact of drought on water sources vary from region to region. Understanding the perceptions of households is critical in ensuring people cope with water shortages. Thus, this paper sought to examine household’s perception on the impact of drought on water resources in Makindu Sub- County, Kenya. The study employed descriptive survey research design. A total of 370 households were sampled using simple random sampling.
