Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth, evidence-based investigation of livestock marketing in Eastern Africa which approaches the issues from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including anthropology, economics, geography, and rangeland ecology. Editors John G. McPeak and Peter D. Little present current findings on how livestock markets in this area operate, describe policy options that help markets function more effectively, and identify topics meriting further research. The issues are examined at a variety of levels (household, market, national, and international), and many of the authors place emphasis on cross-border trade: an area not currently well understood but of substantial economic importance. The book is written in a clear, straightforward style and, though the authors come from a variety of fields, jargon and discipline-specific terms are kept to a minimum.

Book excerpt: A view of 'development at the margins' in the pastoral areas of the Horn of Africa highlights innovation and entrepreneurialism, cooperation and networking and diverse approaches rarely in line with standard development prescriptions.

Book excerpt: Comparing the agro-pastoral FulBe in Burkina Faso and the pastoral Maasai in Kenya, this study is a pioneer effort to establish the relevance of the market conditions with which both these groups of livestock producers are confronted. Despite the ecologically poor Sahelian conditions experienced by the FulBe, favourable market conditions for livestock and food grains have allowed most pastoralists to survive on small livestock holdings. The Maasai, due to their large livestock holdings, have been able to maintain an important cultural dimension as well. The market conditions are of increasing importance to them, but the commercialisation of their livestock production system is threatening the social and economic position of women household members.
