Despite their long residency, foreign and state officials and Kenyan citizens often perceive the Somali population to be a dangerous and alien presence in the country, and charges of civil and human rights abuses have mounted against them in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWe Do Not Have Borders, \u003c\/i\u003e Keren Weitzberg examines the historical factors that led to this state of affairs. In the process, she challenges many of the most fundamental analytical categories, such as \"tribe,\" \"race,\" and \"nation,\" that have traditionally shaped African historiography. Her interest in the ways in which Somali representations of the past and the present inform one another places her research at the intersection of the disciplines of history, political science, and anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGiven tragic events in Kenya and the controversy surrounding al-Shabaab, \u003ci\u003eWe Do Not Have Borders\u003c\/i\u003e has enormous historical and contemporary significance, and provides unique inroads into debates over globalization, African sovereignty, the resurgence of religion, and the multiple meanings of being African.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keren Weitzberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821422588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821422588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Keren Weitzberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153121292543,"sku":"9780821422588","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00aafc66-ce22-42f8-ac89-fd5e2aaf00f6.jpg?v=1770781430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-do-not-have-borders-keren-weitzberg-9780821422588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
