But beneath its recent history of war and displacement lies human stories--families, clans, lovers, neighbors, and friends, all bound together through common cultural, religious, and historical ties. The Lion's Binding Oath, Ahmed Ismail Yusuf's collection of short stories, introduces readers to the people of Somalia and their struggles: their humanity, faith, identity, friendship, and family bonds, as whispers of war grow louder around them. Through stories that span the years before and during Somali's civil war, Yusuf weaves together Somalia's political, social, and religious conflicts with portrayals of the country's love of poetry, music, and soccer. Yusuf's collection is a powerful examination of love and resilience in a country torn apart by war, and written with deep compassion for the lives of its characters."--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Somalis $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Civil war $z Somalia $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Somalia $x History $y 1991- $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Somalis $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Civil war $z Somalia $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Short stories. 651 1 $a Somalia $v Fiction. 651 1 $a Somalia $x History $y 1991- $v Fiction. 651 4 $a Minnesota $x Authors. 650 6 $a Guerre civile $z Somalie $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Somalie $x Histoire $y 1991- $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Civil war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862883 650 7 $a Somalis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125730 651 7 $a Somalia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205351 648 7 $a Since 1991 $2 fast 655 7 $a short stories. $2 aat 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nouvelles. $2 rvmgf 710 2 $a Catalyst Press (Firm), $e publisher. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074058.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DAD1F938214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
