This research explores the historic and contemporary cultural, economic, social, and political factors which reinforce social mobilization and political participation among Kenya's Maasai. It is argued that the Maasai's engagement as a distinct ethnic constituency during the colonial and immediate post-colonial eras served to reinforce a particular political identity based on collective feelings of marginalization and exclusion. While wide-ranging constitutional reforms passed in 2010 offer the Maasai new opportunities to engage in the political and economic spheres of society, there is a prevailing sense of insecurity among many Maasai because of recent demographic, political, and social changes in the country, particularly in Kajiado County (the heart of Maasailand), which has seen rapid development and in-migration in recent years. Issues facing contemporary Maasai, including the preservation of pastoralism, are explored with emphasis on how these issues influence the social mobilization and political participation of Kenya's Maasai community.
