Documents customs and traditions of Maasai people of East Africa. With color illustrations, the text traces the development of people from childhood to old age. Depicts the passage of young boys the emorata, or circumcision ceremony, undertaken after the years of camaraderie and adventure and signifying the end of the carefree existence of the warrior and the start of new responsibilities as a husband and father. It documents a culture in the verge of collapse due to the pressures and constraints of the modern age.
