The Samburu: A Study in Geocentracy - Routledge Classic Ethnographies 2nd edition
Paul Spencer
The Samburu society of northern Kenya is a gerontocracy in which power rests with the older men. The tribe cling to their traditional way of life despite rapid changes throughout Africa. The author spent more than two years amongst the Samburu: he shows how their values and attitudes are closely interwoven with a social system that resists change.
