Once Intrepid Warriors advances a brilliantly persuasive critique of development among the Maasai... This historical ethnography is a tour de force, counter-balancing the analysis of cultural, political, and socio-economic transformation over the longue duree with intimate and memorable portraits of representative individuals. --Richard Werbner In a series of chapters on the interrelationships of ethnicity, gender, and 'modernity,' Hodgson concludes that it is not the Maasai who have remained static, but rather the external images of them. --Choice ... meticulous and well-documented ... a valuable resource... --Africa
