>It is hardly surprising that the destruction of the Somali state would inspire the deconstruction of its historiography. Such is the purpose of The Invention of Somalia, whose authors set out to shift through the layers of Somali scholarship - traditional and modem - in order to separate myth from reality. - John Markakis, [*Review of African Political Economy*](https://www.scienceopen.com/hosted-document?doi=10.1080/03056249608704233)
