The Somal, their Origin and Peculiarities.
Thanks for sharing a book title. I've already started to read it and although the author seems bigoted (like most non-African scholars on Africa who've written about African more than 40 years ago), it's enlightening to find out about Somalia and Somali culture prior to colonialization.

You're welcome, there are many pre-colonial writings about Somalia but they're in Arabic.
