专家证人和学者一直无法找到战后Pokot千年热情的源泉，Pokot是东非养牛的民族，似乎没有受到现代化和殖民统治的影响。在这篇文章中，我提供了一个修正主义的阅读波科特宗教热情和社会地形，它形成了。主要利用新的民族志数据的活动和愿望的Pokot信徒被禁止的Dini Ya Msambwa运动，我认为，在肯尼亚的殖民地回水的诱惑，一个尘世的锡安预示着危机的流动性在精神和物质世界。更一般地说，我展示了如何在殖民地设置千禧年可能重塑现代性，通过重新定位其图像和技术的权力和价值。
Expert witnesses and scholars have been unable to locate the wellsprings of the postwar millennial ardor of the Pokot, an East African cattle-keeping people seemingly untouched by modernity and colonial rule. In this article I provide a revisionist reading of Pokot religious enthusiasm and the social terrain in which it took shape. Drawing primarily on new ethnographic data about the activities and aspirations of Pokot adherents of the proscribed Dini ya Msambwa movement, I argue that the lure of an earthly Zion in a Kenyan colonial backwater bespeaks a crisis of mobility in the spiritual and material worlds. More generally, I show how millennialism in colonial settings may remake modernity by relocating its iconographies and technologies of power and worth.
