Qaran iyo Qabiil
Qaran iyo Qabiil by Rashid Sh. Abdillahi is a profound study, written in Somali, of how clannism is anathema to modern Somali State development. The author examines how Somali traditional norms and values are directly antagonistic to the process of state building, which is one of the overriding issues facing the Somali nation in this critical juncture of its national history. This is a well researched study of the state versus clannism and constitutes a major contribution to the field of Somali politics in these testing and turbulent times. The book is highly recommended for all those interested in the current Somali political thought in the Horn of Africa.

Love Songs in Motion
"At first listen, music is conspicuously absent from Somaliland's public soundscapes. The lingering effects of a war that devastated the artistic community and the increasing presence of Salafist groups, which see music as incompatible with Islamic principles, have muted musical practice. Nonetheless, as Christina Woolner undertook research in postwar peacebuilding in Somaliland's capital, Hargeysa, she continually heard snippets of songs. Many of these, she learned, were about love. In a time and region riddled with precarity, hees jacayl permits singers to "sing from the heart," a mode of voicing songs that Woolner calls envocalization, which allows the possibility of dareen-wadaang (feeli...
Dharaaraa Ina Soo Maray
On the Somali National Movement.
Papers from the Linguistics Workshop
The articles in this book are the result of the First Linguistics Workshop: Somali Language and Literature at the Hargeysa Cultural Centre in December 2015. The objective of the workshop was to facilitate the sharing of current work among scholars in the field of Somali language studies through presentation of their ongoing projects. This also allowed current work to be opened to a wider audience and for students, journalists and writers to hear about some of the issues which are of current interest in Somali language studies. There was a deliberate attempt to draw people engaged in both more strictly linguistic matters together with those whose interests are more as practitioners with langu...
The Suicidal State in Somalia
This book is a critical reposition of the study of military regimes in Africa. Documenting and delving deep into the reign and rule of General Mohamed Siad Barre regime in Somalia from 1969 up to 1991, the book puts emphasis on African agencies—ostensibly shaped by external beneficiaries and patrons—over what went wrong with Africa after the much-awaited post-colonial period. It does so by critically engaging with the wider theoretical and conceptual frameworks in African Studies which more often than not tend to attribute the post-colonial African State raptures to colonialism. The main thesis of the book is that colonialism left Africa on its own space wherein African leaders could hav...
