内容説明

In this penetrating and timely book, Anna Simons documents Somalias impending slide toward anarchy. By exploring the volatile mix of external interest in Somalia, internal politicking, and enduring social structure, she shows how cross-cultural misunderstanding and regroupment are key to explaining Somalias breakdown at the national level. Simons charts new ground in the study of the dissolution of a state, shuttling back and forth between micro and macro frames, historical and everyday practices, and expatriate and Somali experiences. }In this penetrating and timely book, Anna Simons documents Somalias impending slide toward anarchy. How do people react to a failing yet still repressive government? What do they do when the banks run out of cash? How do they cope with unprecedented uncertainty? These are some of the questions Simons addresses as she introduces the reader to Somalias descent into dissolution from within the Somali capital of Mogadishu. Exploring the volatile mix of external interest in Somalia, internal politicking, and enduring social structure, she shows how cross-cultural misunderstanding and regroupment are key to explaining Somalias breakdown at the national level. One aim of this book is to challenge broadly held assumptions about the content of nationalism, tribalism, and the state, as defined and debated by academics and as experienced by individuals. Another is to analyze the making of a pivotal moment in Somali history. Simons charts new ground in the study of the dissolution of a state at all levels, shuttling back and forth between micro and macro frames, historical and everyday practices, and expatriate and Somali experiences. }
