Prof. Abdi Samatar’s Publishes New Book on Somali Culture and Politics

In Framing Somalia, Professor Abdi Samatar “goes beyond the gaze of Africa’s Merchants of Misery and offers a fresh and progressive rethinking on Somali cultural and political studies. Rather than turning Somalis, their culture, and politics into an orientalist fossil, this new book offers a more complex, dynamic, and context-sensitive rendering of the political and cultural developments in the country over the last century”.
