Masai Days
by Cheryl Bentsen
Category: Maasai (African people)

Fifty years after Isak Dinesen memoralized the Maasai in Out of Africa, journalist Cheryl Bentsen presents the personal story of her six-year relationship with these proud and independent people caught on the brink of modern civilization. In a book sure to appeal to anthropology, African history, and travel buffs, Bentsen illustrates how her Maasai friends are tyring to cope, and shows their abiding dignity in the face of fundamental change.
