Nomadicwarlord,

It is perhaps the most fair and balanced book out there. Very good reading and the author is a very pleasant person

Is this a new read or one for the ages?

[AbdiWahab252]

Nomadic,

I highly recommend it because of the author's indepth coverage of several decades of Somali politics in a concise and apolitical way. Its hard to tell his affiliation from this book.

Dr Bulhan did his PhD in American Harvard University and he lectured in many USA Universities including Harvard University, Boston University and Wesleyan University. For the last two years he has been the the Vice-chancellor of Hargeisa University which was established in 1998

Speaking of Somali writers. Just picked up a Copy of one Yasmeen Maxamuud's book called "Nomad Diaries". Yet to read. Anyone read/heard of it?

Amethyst..... what is up with somalis and the word 'nomad'??? Ayaan hirsi, Nuradin Farah and now yasmeen have made this word part of the book title? Over exhausting a phrase ya think?

lol, What I was thinking, too. Either be lack of creativity, laziness or ku dayasho. Least we're not seeing the Arabic version of the word too. "Bedouin"? lol

Nomadicwarlord: Aite. Will do!

Marcas,

Dr. Bulhan is an asset to the Somali people. He represents the generation that never got to lead but should have.

Amethyst,

When will the cottage industry of circumcision talk and religion bashing for Somali female author's end ?
