520    This richly drawn ethnography of Samburu cattle herders in
       northern Kenya examines the effects of an epochal shift in
       their basic diet-from a regimen of milk, meat, and blood 
       to one of purchased agricultural products. In his 
       innovative analysis, Jon Holtzman uses food as a way to 
       contextualize and measure the profound changes occurring 
       in Samburu social and material life. He shows that if 
       Samburu reaction to the new foods is primarily negative-
       they are referred to disparagingly as "gray food" and 
       "government food"--It is also deeply ambivalent. For 
       example, the Samburu attribute a host of socia.
