This is a completely new edition of the only scholarly work on
the poetry of popular and mass culture among a people who are
renowned for their passion for poetry. Johnson traces the heello
movement from its origins as a youth culture which in its early
days was concerned with themes of love and pleasure. It later
became the medium for freedom songs in the preindependence period,
for the expression of modern political ideas, political protest,
rallying songs and social comment, many examples of which are cited
in this volume. Heello became the most dynamic form of Somali
poetry in this century. This edition uses modern Somali script.
