Mukhw Somalia has enjoyed a unique role in the history of African nationalism. As the only country in Africa whose population is vinually homogeneous, most speak a common language, all are Muslims and claim to be relaled to a common (or several common) distant ancestors. One might therefore expect thai its independence movement would have been more unified than those ofother African territories where tribal and regional differences came to be reflected in political party groupings after World War Il. Also Somalia was the only country to be partitioned seveml times: once at the end of the 19th century during the scramble for Africa and again in the 1940's following the break-up of the lIalian East African Empire. This would seem to have been another factor that unified Somalis in a sense ofcommon nationalism. However, the drive for Somali independence gave rise to not just one but several political parties. Were these panies based on regional or "tribal" differences of a particular Somali son? Did they have differtnt views ofSomali nationalism and self-government? These questions are difficuh to answer, not only because source materials are limited but also because one Somali party, the Somali Youth League (SYL), came to dominate the political scene in the 1950's and was the majority party at the time of Somali independence in 1960.

  • (I) the SOCIAL STRUCTUBE of Soumn SOMALI TRIB by Virginia I?
    (i) THE SOCIAL STRUCTUBE OF SOumN SOMALI TRIB by Virginia I?lling A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London. October 197]. (ii) SDMMARY The subject is the social structure of a southern Somali community of about six thousand people, the Geledi, in the pre-colonial period; and. the manner in which it has reacted to colonial and other modern influences. Part A deals with the pre-colonial situation. Section 1 deals with the historical background up to the nineteenth century, first giving the general geographic and ethnographic setting, to show what elements went to the making of this community, and then giving the Geledj's own account of their history and movement up to that time. Section 2 deals with the structure of the society during the nineteenth century. Successive chapters deal with the basic units and categories into which this community divided both itself and the others with which it was in contact; with their material culture; with economic life; with slavery, which is shown to have been at the foundation of the social order; with the political and legal structure; and with the conduct of war. The chapter on the examines the politico-religious office of the Sheikh or Sultan as the focal point of the community, and how under successive occupants of this position, the Geledi became the dominant power in this part of Somalia. Part B deals with colonial and post-colonial influences. After an outline of the history of Somalia since 1889, with special reference to Geledi, the changes in society brought about by those events are (iii) described.

Così anche il pericolo Berturatti è scomparso! *8 Agosto Mogadiscio Pare sempre più certa la destinazione per me a Danane. Uno di questi giorni andrò sul posto a vedere il campo per averne un'idea.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 RESUME Modern Somali poetry is manifested in the genre called heello. It is at once an expression and outgrowth of a new period of history, and a potentially strong influence on chan ing Somali society.- This thesis is an attempt to describe th development of this poetry, its structure and imagery, and th social and historical1 setting from which it arose. The characteristics of form and content of the heello ar from four major sources. Firstly, it is within a traditional group of genres, here called the Family of Miniature Genres, that the history of the modern poem begins, especially with t last miniature poem to develop: the belwo. Secondly, the modern poem has acquired characteristics from Somali classical poetry. Furthermore, it has borrowed” some features from abroad. And lastly, it has acquired some its structure from its own development through time- An hist ical approach^ beginning with the belwo, is a fruitful manner in which to view the question.

  • The Italian Legacy in Post-Colonial Somali Writing: Nuruddin Farah's Sardines
    THE ITALIAN LEGACY IN POST-COLONIAL SOMALI WRITING: NURUDDIN FARAH’S SARDINES GRAZIA SUMELI WEINBERG (University of South Africa) Sommario Scritta in lingua inglese, la prima trilogia dello scrittore somalo Nuruddin Farah, Variations on the Theme of an African Dictatorship, affronta il problema identitario nell’era postcoloniale che riguarda sia il singolo individuo che l’intera nazione, ora sconvolta dalla dittatura e da ideologie di dubbia matrice. L’Italia, la sua cultura e il passato coloniale, che sono ancora vivi nell’immaginario dei Somali negli anni Settanta in cui è ambientata l’opera, fungono da perno sul quale s’incentra tale argomento. È significativo in tal senso il secondo romanzo della trilogia, Sardines, dove il soggetto femminile, che subisce l’ignominia e le ingiustizie dell’asservimento – in Italia e in Somalia – prende coscienza della necessità di scegliere altre strade per ottenere l’autonomia. Contemporary novelist, short-story writer and playwright, Nuruddin Farah is the only Somali author to have achieved international renown for his works. Farah belongs to the second generation of modern African authors whose writings focus on post-colonial and post- nationalist concerns in their respective countries since independence from colonial rule. Their literary interests have shifted from, initially, the problematics of decolonization and nationalism to, more recently, those of self-rule. Simon Gikandi (2002:455) endorses this view and points out that the major concern of a contemporary African writer such as Farah is to break away from the paradigm of disillusionment with the ideals of nationalism, the latter no longer a manifestation of a common interest, and to turn instead to the issue of power and the 26 state.

To Moos and Misha In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods.

Imagining the Nation, Crafting the State: The Politics of Nationalism and Decolonisation in Somalia (1940-60) Annalisa Urbano Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2012 Imagining the Nation, Crafting the State Abstract The thesis offers a first-hand historically informed research on the trajectory of the making of the post-colonial state in Somalia (1940-60). It does so by investigating the interplay between the emergence and diffusion of national movements following the defeat of the Italians in 1941 and the establishment of a British Military Administration, and the process of decolonisation through a 10-year UN trusteeship to Italy in 1950. It examines the extent to which the features of Somali nationalism were affected/shaped by the institutional framework established by the UN mandate.

Ali Farah and Scego, two of the most prominent authors of Italian postcolonial literature, address Italy's historical amnesia in their works through the personal stories/testimonies of their characters. The voices of Ali Farah’s and Scego’s protagonists narrate the intertwined histories between Italy and Somalia from Somalia’s inception as an Italian colony in 1908 up to more recent events of civil war, piracy, and famine. The dissertation examines how multimodal storytelling in these authors’ works helps capture the complexity of such histories, especially in the context of the Somali diaspora, which often requires a multitude of narrative modes in order to maintain personal bonds with a pre-civil war Somalia and with the ii people who have been killed or dispersed by war.
