    Abstract: This rich and detailed ethnographic study analyses the formation and spread of the Sungusungu movement that arose in the early 1980s among the Sukuma-Nyamwezi people in west-central Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria. In the wake of the international oil crisis in the 1970s, aggravated by the costly war with Uganda, Tanzania experienced a peroiod of deep economic and social crisis with inflation, collapsing markets, a shortage of basic commodities and a breakdown of law and order; signified by increasing levels of violent crime, such as organized cattle theft and banditry in the rural areas. Against this backdrop, people began to organize and arm themselves to cope with the disintegrating and malevolent forces they were experiencing, not only as an existential threat to their daily lives but to society at large, The quest for everday peace (mhola) was omnipresent when the Sungusungu movement swept like a bush-fire from village to villlage. Within only a couple of years, several million people were involved in or at least affected by the Sungusungu movement, whose emergence constituted a generic moment that sparked a process with far-reaching social, political and judicial repercussions. Based on long-term filedwork engagements and extensive literature review, Per Brandström analyses the trajectory of the movement from its early emergence as a genuine localized popular movement to an institution for community policing under state supervision and control.

    Abstract: hospitable to qualitative methods of research. Lauding the results of this effort and highlighting its potential for the future, Political Ethnography makes a compelling case for one such method in particular. Ethnography, the contributors amply demonstrate in a wide range of original essays, is uniquely suited for illuminating the study of politics.Situating these pieces within the context of developments in political science, Edward Schatz provides an overarching introduction and substantive prefaces to each of the volume`s four sections. The first of these parts addresses the central ontological and epistemological issues raised by ethnographic work, while the second grapples with the reality that all research is conducted from a first-person perspective. The third section goes on to explore how ethnographic research can provide fresh perspectives on such perennial topics as opinion, causality, and power. Concluding that political ethnography can and should play a central role in the field as a whole, the final chapters illuminate the many ways in which ethnographic approaches can enhance, improve, and, in some areas, transform the study of politics.
