    Abstract: In the 1980s, Samburu men from northern Kenya began migrating to coastal tourist resorts to sell souvenirs and perform traditional dances for European tourists. Many of them engaged in transactional sex or marriages with European women attracted to the image of the exotic African young male warrior. Through relationships with European women, some Samburu men managed to rapidly accumulate wealth, becoming so-called 'young big-men'. As a way to transform their wealth into more durable forms of respectability, these men used their money to marry local women and speed up their ritual initiation into elderhood. Meanwhile, there also emerged the figure of 'beach-boy elders', men who aged before accumulating sufficient wealth. They returned to coastal tourist resorts, dressed as young warriors, and waited to find European partners. In the article, I argue that beach-boy elders and young big-men produce queer moments in the temporalities of ageing, in that they subvert normative expectations of ageing at the very same time that they seek to produce them.

    Abstract: In Samburu District, northern Kenya, men and women crafted collective belonging through and around colonial stereotypes of their ethnic sexuality. If administrators, missionaries, development workers, and journalists long invoked promiscuity and adultery to describe them as radical Others, rural Samburu turned to ritual to transform the implications of such stereotypes. In ceremonies called lopiro , they sought to end everyday adultery within particular generations and reimagine moral forms of collective belonging to age sets, clans, the state, and a world beyond Kenya. These ceremonies synthesized contradictions between the concrete socioeconomic and political struggles of rural Samburu families and the haunting colonial paradigms of their sexual alterity. Lopiro ceremonies demonstrate the central role of sexuality to autochthonous and ethnic forms of belonging in the postcolonial world. [ sexuality , ethnicity , belonging , kinship , Samburu , Kenya ] Katika wilaya ya Samburu Kaskazini mwa Kenya, wanawake na wanaume wamejijengea utambulisho mpya wa jamii yao kupitia mgongo wa dhana potofu zilizozushwa na wakoloni juu ya mahusiano ya kimapenzi baina ya wanajamii wa jamii hiyo. Kwa muda mrefu, maafisa wa serikali, wamisionari, wafanyakazi katika miradi ya maendeleo, na waandishi wa habari wamekuwa wakitumia dhana ya “uzinzi” na “uasherati” wa watu wa Samburu kama kigezo cha kusisitiza tofauti kubwa ya kimaadili kati ya jamii ya Wasamburu na jamii zingine nchini Kenya. Kufuatia haya, Wasamburu walizigeukia mila zao na kuzitumia kama chombo cha ukombozi ili kuharamisha uzushi huo. Katika sherehe zao zinazoitwa lopiro , Wasamburu waliazimia kuharamisha na kufuta kila chembe ya uasherati iliyokuwemo miongoni mwa vizazi vyao na hivyo kudiriki kujitengenezea mfumo mpya wa maadili ya jamii nzima kwa ajili ya rika zote, koo zote, taifa la Kenya, na dunia nzima kwa ujumla. Sherehe hizi zilipelekea kuwepo na ukinzani mkali baina ya hali duni, iliyokithiri, ya kiuchumi, kijamii na kisiasa miongoni mwa familia za Samburu vijijini na jinamizi la dhana potofu za kikoloni juu ya mahusiano ya kimapenzi ya watu wa Samburu. Sherehe za lopiro zinaonesha kinagaubaga dhima ya mahusiano ya kimapenzi kama mhimili wa namna ambavyo jamii za kiasili zilivyojitambulisha na kuhusiana baada ya ukoloni. [ mahusiano ya kijamii, kabila, udugu, Samburu, Kenya ] Im Samburu Gebiet im Norden Kenias stellten sich Männer und Frauen ihre kollektive Zugehörigkeit im Verhältnis zu kolonialen Klischees ihrer ethnischen Sexualität vor. Administratoren, Missionare, Entwicklungsarbeiter und Journalisten hatten die Samburu schon lange mit Promiskuität und außerehelichen Sex in Verbindung gebracht, um sie als kulturelle “Andere” zu beschreiben. Während der Kolonialherrschaft benutzten die Samburu Rituale, um die sozialen Folgen dieser Klishees abzuwandeln. In sogenannten “lopiro” Zeremonien versuchten die Samburu außerehelichen Sex zwischen bestimmten Generationen zu beenden und neue moralische Bezieungen zu Altersklassen, Clans, dem Staat and einer Welt jenseits von Kenia zu knüpfen. Diese Zeremonien stellten Widersprüche zwischen den konkreten sozioökonomischen und politischen Problemen der ländlichen Samburu Familien und einer kolonialen Weltanschauung ihrer sexuellen Alterität dar. Lopiro Zeremonien zeigen uns die wichtige Rolle der Sexualität im Bezug auf autochthone und ethnische Zugehörigkeit in der postkolonialen Welt. [ Sexualität, Ethnizität, Zugehörigkeit, Verwandtschaft, Samburu, Kenia ] Figure 5. Over the microphone, the master of ceremonies praises the gifts exchanged on the last day of the lopiro ceremony. Samburu District, Kenya, December 2010.

    Abstract: Ethno-erotic Economies explores a fascinating case of tourism focused on sex and culture in coastal Kenya, where young men deploy stereotypes of African warriors to help them establish transactional sexual relationships with European women. In bars and on beaches, young men deliberately cultivate their images as sexually potent African men to attract women, sometimes for a night, in other cases for long-term relationships.George Paul Meiu uses his deep familiarity with the communities these men come from to explore the long-term effects of markets of ethnic culture and sexuality on a wide range of aspects of life in rural Kenya, including kinship, ritual, gender, intimate affection, and conceptions of aging. What happens to these communities when young men return with such surprising wealth? And how do they use it to improve their social standing locally? By answering these questions, Ethno-erotic Economies offers a complex look at how intimacy and ethnicity come together to shape the pathways of global and local trade in the postcolonial world.
