"Once Intrepid Warriors advances a brilliantly persuasive critique of development among the Maasai. . . . This historical ethnography is a tour de force, counter-balancing the analysis of cultural, political, and socio-economic transformation over the longue duree with intimate and memorable portraits of representative individuals." --Richard Werbner
"In a series of chapters on the interrelationships of ethnicity, gender, and 'modernity, ' Hodgson concludes that it is not the Maasai who have remained static, but rather the external images of them." --Choice
". . . meticulous and well-documented . . . a valuable resource. . . ." --Africa
