Ioan Lewis details the history and culture of the Somali people,
providing a unique window into this little-known culture and its
increasingly public predicaments. He provides insight into the
complex social, historical, and cultural hinterland that is the
Somali heritage and pays close attention to the pervasive influence
of traditional nomadism, especially its extremely decentralized
nature. Lewis also addresses developments in the Somali political
region since the collapse of the Republic in 1991, including the
formation and steady development of the democratic state of
Somaliland. Though it has grown into a de facto personality, this
self-governing outpost of democracy is still officially
unrecognized internationally. Lewis concludes with a discussion of
the Islamist movement that brought a brief but astonishing period
of stability to much of Southern Somalia in late 2006.
