This research project will examine the role of indigenous                  categories of inequality in the construction of contemporary                    social and economic relations among the Luo of western Kenya.                   The investigator will focus on Luo concepts which traditionally                 have defined differential access to resources based on kinship                  status.  She will test the hypothesis that these traditional                    cultural cateogies are still important, even in the face of                     increasing social and economic differentiation resulting from the               emergence of a capitalistic economic system.                                         This project will explore the interaction between external                 forces of capitalism and indigenous cultural categories of                      relationship as they relate to the emergence of class forms.  The               results will increase our understanding of the processes of                     change and stratification in African societies.
