摘要

肯尼亚政府雄心勃勃的发展议程以基础设施和采掘业为驱动,肯尼亚农村地区正在经历或预计将经历大规模的社会生态变化。在纳洛克、齐默县和纳库鲁县休眠的苏斯瓦火山附近的牧民牧场,已经建成了一条现代铁路和一个地热项目,并计划进一步开发地热,同时建设一个大型内陆港口和工业园区。其他学者则指出了结构性、话语性、组织性和直接暴力的边界特征,这些特征发生在两种社会秩序的交界处,在肯尼亚北部的部分地区得到了很好的认可。这篇文章考虑了这些现象是如何在内罗毕和其他城市中心的“门口”被边缘化的牧民居住的边界上发生的。它的结论是,大多数边疆现象也出现在靠近中心的边缘地区,因此,边疆不一定是地理上决定的。然而,暴力的形成和警察的动态与北部不同,靠近经济和政治中心造成了差异,使国家能够保持更多的控制。

The frontier on the doorstep: development and conflict dynamics in the southern rangelands of Kenya
ABSTRACT Rural parts of Kenya are undergoing or are expected to undergo massive social-ecological change as a result of the government’s ambitious development agenda driven by infrastructure and extraction. The pastoralist rangelands near the dormant Mount Suswa volcano in Narok, Kajiado and Nakuru counties have witnessed the creation of a modern railway and a geothermal project, and plans for further geothermal developments are expected together with a large inland port and industrial park. Other scholars identify structural, discursive, organisational and directly violent frontier characteristics which occur at the interface of two social orders and are well recognised in parts of northern Kenya. This article considers how these phenomena play out in a frontier inhabited by marginalised pastoralists but ‘on the doorstep’ of Nairobi and other urban centres. It concludes that most frontier phenomena are also present in marginalised areas closer to the centre and as such, the frontier is not necessarily geographically determined. However, formations of violence and dynamics of policing are different to the north and proximity to the economic and political centre makes a difference, allowing the state to remain more in control.
