We
don't necessarily think about our pots and pans as being "material
culture," and yet, from an anthropological perspective, they are.
So, while Iraqw bowls and firestones, and Samburu calabashes may seem
intriguing, the comfy chair in an urban home may seem like strange candidates
to highlight on an East Africa web page. Yet these are indeed, examples
of material culture, and an Iraqw or Samburu man's reaction to my photographing
a "men's stool" as if it were something special has a lot
in common with my friends' amusement in Nairobi as I took pictures of
their living room.
