It conveys a timely account of the developmental niche in contemporary Maasai society, in children’s lives, social roles, work, play, and learning in family routines. Pastoralism is an important livelihood system that has allowed humans to live in arid and semi-arid lands for centuries. Children in pastoralist societies are expected to, and indeed do, actively and independently participate in and contribute to local subsistence from an early age. Compared to studies of other forms of livelihood, anthropological investigations into pastoralist children remain limited, particularly in light of critical social changes pastoralists have undergone in the last three decades. Less is known about their local parenting ethnotheories, childhood play, and children’s practices of self-reliance in making positive changes in their families and local communities. Having a better understanding of pastoral childhood in concurrent natural and social complexities is vital for further investigation of human development in general and the pastoralist culture in particular. Xiaojie Tian is an associate professor at the Institute of Health and Sport Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Japan. Her research interests include children’s daily activities and learning outside school, the relation of children and natural environment, and ethnobiological knowledge transmission and (re-)generation in East African pastoral societies. Recently, she has also delved into the study of sport anthropology and sport histories, with a focus on traditional games, movement culture, and sport issues in African society. 0aEthnology.958687 0aApplied anthropology.988779 0aPhysical anthropology.98878014aSociocultural Anthropology.97122724aEthnography.97080024aApplied Anthropology.98878124aPhysical-Biological Anthropology.9887822 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303173779408iPrinted edition:z978303173781708iPrinted edition:z9783031737824 0aPalgrave Studies on the Anthropology of Childhood and Youth,x2946-482X98878340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-73780-0  aZDB-2-SLS  aZDB-2-SXS  c65625d65625
