Abdi Latif Ega is a Somali novelist
and scholar at Columbia University. His recent book, Guban, is a
kaleidoscopic tale of the Somali revolution, which deftly interlocks
stories of all strata of society-interlopers, interlocutors, diplomats,
camel herders, revolutionaries, military personnel, and clan leaders, to
name but a few. Documenting both the brutality of the national
dictatorship and the international pressures of this cold war driven
world. Guban brings together the immediacy of journalistic reportage
with the imaginative expansiveness of the novel.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
