In this penetrating and timely book, Anna Simons documents
Somalia's impending slide toward anarchy. How do people react to a
failing yet still repressive government? What do they do when the
banks run out of cash? How do they cope with unprecedented
uncertainty? These are some of the questions Simons addresses as
she introduces the reader to Somalia's descent into dissolution
from within the Somali capital of Mogadishu. Exploring the volatile
mix or external interest in Somalia, internal politicking, and
enduring social structure, she shows how cross-cultural
misunderstanding and regroupment are key to explaining Somalia's
breakdown at the national level. One aim of this book is to
challenge broadly held assumptions about the content of
nationalism, tribalism, and the state, as defined and debated by
academics and as experienced by individuals. Another is to analyze
the making of a pivotal moment in Somali history. Simons charts new
ground in the study of the dissolution of a state at ail levels,
shuttling back and forth between micro and macro frames, historical
and everyday practices, and expatriate and Somali experiences.
