Book excerpt: "Pastoralists, ranchers of European descent, conservationists, smallholders, and land investors with political influence converge on the Laikipia plateau in Kenya. Land is claimed by all - the tactics differ. Private property rights are presented, histories of presence are told, charges of immorality are applied, fences are electrified and some resort to violence. The region, marked by enclosures, is left as a tense fragmented frontier. Marie Gravesen embedded herself in the region prior to a wave of land invasions that swept the plateau leading up to Kenya's 2017 general election. Through a rich telling of the history of Laikipia's social, political and environmental dynamics, she invites a deeper understanding of the pre-election violence and general tensions as never done before"--
