-Through this evocative text, readers learn what it once meant to
be Pokot through the recollections of a man remarkable for his
reflective intellect. Compelling anecdotes tell of being chased by
an ostrich as a child; the origin of the Lion Clan as recounted by

hair-raising and increasing lawlessness through late colonial and
post colonial times... such engaging stories could animate an
undergraduate introduction to African Peoples. Recommended.- - A.F.
