Masai Manhood

Synopsis
Focuses on the significance of the Masai age-set system, and, in particular, on the dramatic Eunoto ceremony which marks the important transition from warriorhood, during which the ‘warriors’ live for several years in the forest on the fringe of Masai society, to the responsibilities of elderhood. *RAI
