Marginalization of the Maasai in Kenya

This article talks about the tourism increase in Kenya and how the Maasai are affected. They live close to a lot of wildlife attractions. This article touches on the stereotypes of the Maasai as a primitive people and how those stereotypes are reinforced with the jobs they receive at game reserves.

It talks about tourism behavior related to drugs, prostitution, sex, and how the young Maasai are tempted to indulge in this behavior.
