The Life of the Somali People in Two Continents: Challenges,
Achievements and Conduct is a rare and candid account of what it
has meant to be Somali across two worlds - the pastoral landscapes
of East Africa and the cities of the United States - written from
inside the community it describes.
Osman Dirie Egal has lived both lives. Raised in the traditions of
Somali rural and nomadic society, he later built his family in the
United States and spent more than three decades watching,
participating in, and thinking hard about what happens when a people
carry their culture across an ocean. This book is the record of that
observation - direct, honest, and grounded in lived experience
rather than academic distance.
The first section of the book turns to Somalia itself: the rhythms
of pastoral life, the systems of customary dispute resolution,
marriage and dowry practices, mutual-aid traditions, the heroism
of the struggle for independence, and the social structures that
held Somali communities together long before anyone had heard of
a refugee camp. These are presented not as nostalgia but as
inheritance - the part of Somali identity that crossed the ocean
even when people crossed with nothing.
The second and larger part of the book follows the Somali
community in the United States from the arrival of the first wave
of refugees in the early 1990s through to the present. It covers
the building of mosques and Islamic schools from scratch; the
extraordinary and largely uncelebrated role of Somali women in
fundraising, household preservation, and education; the economics
of Somali commerce and the rise of Somali businesses in cities
like Minneapolis, Columbus, and Seattle; the challenges facing
Somali youth - from language barriers and identity crisis to the
pull of gangs and the erosion of parental authority; the rising
rate of divorce and delayed marriage; the generation gap between
parents raised in Somalia and children raised in American
classrooms; and the persistence of clan and tribalism, now
amplified by social media, that continues to divide communities
who would be stronger united.
The book does not flinch from difficulty. Where it describes
failure - in a mosque committee, in a household divided between
two cultures, in a community that has sometimes turned inward
when it needed to reach outward - it does so because, as the
author writes, a community that can name its own difficulties is
a community capable of overcoming them. Where it describes
achievement, it does so because those achievements deserve to be
recorded before the people who lived them are gone and the record
is lost with them.
Complete with a full bibliography and index, this is essential
reading for Somali families in the diaspora, for their children
born and raised in the West, for educators and social workers
working with refugee and immigrant communities, and for anyone
interested in the lived experience of one of the most remarkable
migration stories of the past thirty years.

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
