Chapter Two, “Land, Emergency, and Sedentarization in East Africa,” argues through the concept of enclosure (as legal strategy and empirical space) that the refugee camp iterates approaches to land that intertwine the construction of emergency territory with sedentarization. The chapter opens with Maganai Saddiq Hassan's farm, a lush, green cultivated area on an assigned plot within the arid landscape of Dagaheley refugee camp, imbricating the history of enslavement behind her agricultural skill with that of Dadaab's marginal territory, the colonial and postcolonial manyattas (villages, or settlements) that were predecessors to the refugee camps, and the ubiquitous makuti and tuqul architectures that represent a long history of sedentarization and resistance: arguing that the abolitionist cultivation of land justified humanitarian settlement, producing a moral imperative pathologizing the nomad and instituting the drive to mass sedentarization by carceral means.
