dc.description.abstractThe paper explores the implications of changing household structures in particular the loosening of marriage ties, and frequent separation and regrouping on relational vulnerability and the micro-politics of adaptation in the region. In semi-arid Kenya, persistent drought has made male incomes from pastoralism insecure, and contributed to women’s growing engagement with trade, farming and other independent enterprises for survival. Polygamy, separation and consensual unions, multi-generational and multi-locational households, point to a growing diversity in gender and generational relationships, in rights, responsibilities and norms.en
