2007年，肯尼亚一场有争议的选举爆发了长达两个月的政治危机，导致1000多人死亡，近70万人流离失所。许多暴力事件都与种族有关，主要肇事者是卡伦金人，他们猛烈抨击裂谷的其他社区。与许多其他种族暴力事件相比，这一事件的不同寻常之处在于，卡伦金社区是最近才建立起来的：该组织自二十世纪中叶以来才存在。借助丰富的档案研究和生动的口头证词，我对你说的是对卡伦金身份的产生、发展、政治相关性、民众吸引力以及它的暴力潜力的及时分析。
In 2007 a disputed election in Kenya erupted into a two-month political crisis that led to the deaths of more than a thousand people and the displacement of almost seven hundred thousand. Much of the violence fell along ethnic lines, the principal perpetrators of which were the Kalenjin, who lashed out at other communities in the Rift Valley. What makes this episode remarkable compared to many other instances of ethnic violence is that the Kalenjin community is a recent construct: the group has only existed since the mid-twentieth century. Drawing on rich archival research and vivid oral testimony, I Say to You is a timely analysis of the creation, development, political relevance, and popular appeal of the Kalenjin identity as well as its violent potential.
