Somalia: Economy Without State
Author(s):
Peter D. Little
Published: Indiana University
Press
Publication date: January 2003
ISBN10: 0253216486
ISBN13:
9780253216489
Language:English
Book Description
In the wake of the collapse of the Somali
government in 1991, a "second" or "informal" economy based on
trans-border trade and smuggling is thriving. While focusing primarily
on pastoral and agricultural markets, Peter D. Little demonstrates that
the Somalis are resilient and opportunistic and that they use their
limited resources effectively. While it is true that many Somalis live
in the shadow of brutal warlords and lack access to basic health care
and education, Little focuses on those who have managed to carve out a
productive means of making ends meet under difficult conditions and
emphasizes the role of civic culture even when government no longer
exists. Exploring questions such as, Does statelessness necessarily mean
anarchy and disorder? Do money, international trade, and investment
survive without a state? Do pastoralists care about development and
social improvement? This book describes the complexity of the Somali
situation in the light of international terrorism.

Book Description
The overwhelming majority of Somalis trace
their genealogical origin to the mythical founding father, Samaale or
Samaal. Even those clan-families, such as the Digil and Rahanwayn in
southern Somalia, whose members in many cases do not trace their lineage
directly to Samaal, readily identify themselves as Somalis, thereby
accepting the primacy of Samaal as the forebear of the Somali people. By
language, traditions, and way of life, the Somalis share kinship with
other members of the Eastern Cushitic groups of the Horn of Africa,
including the Oromo, who constitute roughly 50 percent of the population
of Ethiopia.

octave in contrast to a heptatonic (seven note) scale such as the major
scale. At first listen, Somali music might be mistaken for the sounds of
