The recent histories of Italy and Somalia are closely linked. Italy colonized Somalia from the end of the 19th century to 1941, and held the territory by UN mandate from 1950 to 1960.

Critically evaluating Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's concept of 'minor literature', as well as drawing on postcolonial literary studies, The Somali Within analyses the processes of linguistic and cultural...
