Book Synopsis
In 2007 a disputed election in Kenya erupted into a political crisis that led to thousands of deaths. Much of the violence fell along ethnic lines, the principal perpetrators of which were the Kalenjin. Uncovering the Kalenjin's roots, the author examines the ways in which ethnic groups are socially constructed and renegotiated over time.

Trade Review
"This is an indispensable guide to understanding the distinctive place of Kalenjin nationalism in Kenyan politics and the recent post-election violence as well as the role of ethnicity in Africa more broadly. Lynch is superb in explaining both the persistent dissension within the Kalenjin as well as the way unity was achieved in the context of the ethnic logic of Kenyan politics, the dynamics of which she has exceptional insight into." (Adam Ashforth, University of Michigan)"
