This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Decoupled Social-Ecological Systems: Eroded Sustainability in Africa, Drought Vulnerability of Kenya's Maasai," Dr. Margaret Mwangi explores drought impacts and responses in coupled social-ecological systems across Africa. The book highlights the three extant schools of thought vis-à-vis understanding and managing the phenomenon called drought. Drought vulnerability of the Maasai is revealed as primarily occasioned by persistent decoupling of their strongly coupled social-ecological livelihood production systems. Drought vulnerability and erosion of sustainability of Maasai-pastoralism, and indeed similar livelihoods, is contextual, variable, and linkable to that decoupling: current drought event serves to unveil existing, even constructed, vulnerabilities. Maasais have had to constantly negotiate the ever-evolving cross-scale social, political, and economic terrains: which negotiation influences the way these pastoralists experience drought. Unless there is a change in policies and practices, with focus on adaptive interventions, there is a risk in Maasai's livelihoods in the future of shifts in climate and/or socioeconomic landscapes. Thus it should be clear: the adoption of integrated management of drought, simultaneously as multidimensional phenomenon and as a hazard-risk--as understood from the detailed third school of thought vis-à-vis understanding and managing drought--, avails plausible informed cross-scale participatory and adaptive interventions. Integrated efforts toward multidimensional drought-hazard/risk interventions are more apt to enhance drought-resilience, and plausibly disrupt the generation of drought-disasters.

Download or read book (De)coupled Social-Ecological Systems written by Margaret Mwangi, PH D and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "(De)coupled Social-Ecological Systems: Eroded Sustainability in Africa, Created Vulnerability of Kenya's Maasai," Dr. Margaret Mwangi explores drought impacts and responses in coupled social-ecological systems across Africa, with a strong focus on Kenya's Maasailand. The book highlights the three extant schools of thought vis-à-vis understanding and managing drought. The book presents a detailed explication on contextual, variable, and persistent (de)coupling of Maasai's strongly coupled social-ecological livelihood production systems-and similar systems across Africa-vis-à-vis occasioning vulnerability and erosion of sustainability of the same. Apropos this last point, the role of drought is elucidated. Plausible interventions toward disrupting generation of drought-disasters in the predominantly strongly coupled social-ecological systems in Kenya's Maasailand, and indeed across Africa, are presented. The study makes an important contribution to interdisciplinary and development studies, and will be of particular interest to scholars and practitioners across disciplines. The book is organized in seven chapters.

Download or read book Integrated Emic-Etic Analysis of Dynamic Social-Ecological Systems written by Ph D Margaret Mwangi and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In, "Integrated Emic-Etic Analysis of Dynamic Social-Ecological Systems: Approaches and Models of Climate, Environments, and Livelihoods Nexus in Kenya's Maasailand," Dr. Margaret Mwangi engages integrated approaches and modeling to capture the diverse factors, processes, and their various interactions in the study of the constantly changing Maasai social-ecological systems. The various elements structuring the strongly coupled social-ecological systems of the Maasai are conceptualized. The explication presented in this book reveals the system of Maasai-pastoralism as a plausible echo from the past. The current volume contributes toward efforts that anticipate enhancing analyses of drought disaster/risk management in indigenous and strongly coupled social-ecological systems such as exemplified by Maasai livelihoods. The book serves as a guide vis-à-vis formulating informed climate disaster/risk interventions. The book is a valuable contribution to interdisciplinary and development studies, fieldwork, and integrated research; and will be of particular interest to practitioners and scholars across disciplines.

Download or read book Being Maasai written by Thomas Spear and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 1993-04-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone “knows” the Maasai as proud pastoralists who once dominated the Rift Valley from northern Kenya to central Tanzania. But many people who identity themselves as Maasai, or who speak Maa, are not pastoralist at all, but farmers and hunters. Over time many different people have “become” something else. And what it means to be Maasai has changed radically over the past several centuries and is still changing today. This collection by historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and linguists examines how Maasai identity has been created, evoked, contested, and transformed from the time of their earliest settlement in Kenya to the present, as well as raising questions about the nature of ethnicity generally.

Download or read book A History of Water: Series III, Volume 3 written by Terje Tvedt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major changes in policy and management , across the entire agricultural production chain, will be needed to ensure the best use of available water resources in meeting growing demands for food and other agricultural products. This new volume in the successful History of Water Series focuses on the African continent to address this key issue. Humanity has its roots in Africa and many of our food systems developed there. All types of agricultural production are present and the sheer size of the continent offers wide ecological variation from extreme desert to dense rainforest. Drawing together leading international contributors from a wide variety of disciplines Water and Food offers new insights into the evolution of food systems, from early hunter gatherers to the global challenges of the modern world.
