In the recently published paper ‘Inhabiting Otherwise’: Maasai Pastoralists’ Ontological Struggles Over Land in Tanzania, Leiyo Singo highlights a Maasai’s relational mode of inhabitation: Eramatare. He argues that Eramatare has the potential to initiate a genuinely decolonised socio-ecological transformation by offering insights into the establishment of a equitable relationship between humans and nature.
