The pastoral Somali people, with their rich heritage and unique way of life, offer a window into a world where the rhythms of nature and the bonds of community shape every aspect of life. From the birth of a child to the passage into adulthood, from marriage to the wisdom of old age, every stage of life is marked by deep-rooted traditions and practices. This book delves into these life-cycle events, uncovering the meanings, rituals, and customs that define the Somali pastoral experience. Beyond individual milestones, the household stands as the central unit of Somali pastoral society. It is within the walls of their homes that traditions are passed down, decisions are made, and the future of the community is shaped. This book explores the dynamics of these households, shedding light on the roles and relationships that bind them together. Throughout this exploration, we have been guided by a profound respect for the knowledge and insights of the Somali people themselves. Their stories, perspectives, and reflections are the heartbeat of this work, offering an authentic and nuanced understanding of a way of life that has endured through the ages.
