Download or read book Somali People of the Horn of Africa written by Anita Suleiman and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Somalis have lived in the Horn of Africa for thousands of years. Today they number about six million people. As well as inhabiting the area known generally since 1960 as the Somali Republic, they also live in adjacent areas in Djibouti, the Ogaden area of Ethiopia and in northern Kenya. This is because traditional clan homelands pre-date modern day national borders. This factor has been a constant cause of conflict between Somalia and its neighbours right up to the present time. From time immemorial Somalis have been a nomadic people, migrating with their livestock, according to the season, in search of water and pasture. Nomads do not travel aimlessly, they follow traditional seasonal patterns of migration within as identifiable given location. They know the times when rain is expected, and know which areas are likely to have grass when other places have dried up. They travel in groups made up of the extended family. These family groupings are based on kinship relations of the adult male members. A father, his adult sons and their families will commonly constitute the nomadic family group, called the reer. It may also include other adult males related to the father, and their dependents. In times of plenty many members of the extended family will stay together; during the dry season and in times of drought the group will split up into smaller units and become more scattered.
Download or read book The Horn of Africa written by Christopher Clapham and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is the Horn such a distinctive part of Africa? This book, by one of the foremost scholars of the region, traces this question through its exceptional history and also probes the wildly divergent fates of the Horn’s contemporary nation-states, despite the striking regional particularity inherited from the colonial past. Christopher Clapham explores how the Horn’s peculiar topography gave rise to the Ethiopian empire, the sole African state not only to survive European colonialism, but also to participate in a colonial enterprise of its own. Its impact on its neighbours, present-day Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia and Somaliland, created a region very different from that of post-colonial Africa. This dynamic has become all the more distinct since 1991, when Eritrea and Somaliland emerged from the break-up of both Ethiopia and Somalia. Yet this evolution has produced highly varied outcomes in the region’s constituent countries, from state collapse (and deeply flawed reconstruction) in Somalia, through militarised isolation in Eritrea, to a still fragile ‘developmental state’ in Ethiopia. The tensions implicit in the process of state formation now drive the relationships between the once historically close nations of the Horn.
Download or read book Identities on the Move written by Günther Schlee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1989, this book examines how the inter-ethnic relationships of the clans of the pastoral Rendille, Gabbra, Sakuye and some Somalis of northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia came about. It also examines the uses to which these inter-ethnic relationships are put: for example in managing herds. Oral history is combined with cultural comparison and the analysis of social structure. Blending synchronic and diachronic perspectives, the book synthesises historical ethnology in the Continental tradition with social anthropology. Historically it overturns some established ideas about how the Horn of Africa was settled. Anthropologically it shows how relations may exceed the bounds of the ethnic group as the conventional unit of study.

Download or read book Children Of Ham written by Fred Morton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children of Ham: Freed Slaves and Fugitives Slaves on the Kenya Coast,I 873 to 1907 is a chronological account of the repeated bids for freedom made by slaves and ex-slaves on the Kenya coast and of the obstacles placed in their way by the British, the Busaidi Arabs, and the peoples of the coast. Efforts to escape slavery are as old as slavery itself on the Kenya coast, but the principal story begins in 1873, when Britain pressured the sultan of Zanzibar to abolish the ocean-going slave trade. Thereafter, political and military conflict intensified on the coast, while opportunities for slaves to escape increased accordingly. This period, ending roughly with the abolition of the legal status of slavery in 1907, corresponds to the imperial scramble from its earliest stages to the effective establishment of European rule.
