Throughout the world's arid regions, and particularly in northern and eastern Africa, formerly nomadic pastoralists are undergoing a transition to settled life. This reference shows that although pastoral settlement is often encouraged by international development agencies and national governments, the social, economic and health consequences of sedentism are not inevitably beneficial.

From the reviews of the first edition:
"This book brings together chapters on various research projects in the semi-arid Marsabit district in northern Kenya. … The chapters cover a variety of issues on aspects of human welfare … . Overall the book is a set of fascinating accounts that demonstrate the difficulties in conceptualizing and measuring ‘development’ let alone in devising interventions to improve people’s lives in marginal semi-arid lands." (Sara Randall, Population Studies, Vol. 60 (3), 2006)
"This book is a compendium of studies on the pastoralists of Northern Kenya … . This book combines state of the art review with primary research … . is a milestone in our knowledge and understanding of contemporary pastoralism in sub-Saharan Africa in general, and of the biosocial correlates of sedentarization for women and children in Northern Kenyan pastoralist groups in particular. It will be of importance to researchers, students, policymakers, and practitioners in African drylands development." (Katherine Homewood, Human Ecology, 2006)
