Anders HjortSocialantropologiska institutionen, Stockholm, 1979 265 s. ISBN 9 1 -8 5 2 8 4 -1 2 -2 Abstract This study deals w ith a small multi-ethnic tow n in northern Kenya which has emerged during colonial times as a trade and administrative centre. Access to various subsistence opportunities in tow n is restricted and related to contacts w ith surrounding rural areas, the "home areas" of the migrants. These areas are inhabited by pastoralists to the north and farmers to the south. The study departs from the historical development of the town, the fundamental economic processes that maintain its existence and the settlement pattern and structure of opportunities within town. The interconnections between town and countryside are outlined in the second part. This shows how both are integrated in the lives of many townsmen and immigrants. Rural households may send members to town more or less temporarily in order to maintain viability. Others are pushed out of a rural economy. The effect of the various settlement strategies is an economic and social integration of town and a whole region through contacts which often contain elements of inequa lity. Ethnic ascription is of importance for most newcomers to town as a means to get in touch w ith those people within the own ethnic group who are obliged to give help according to established solidarity principles.
