The book explores the history of a minority group, the Gaboye, in Somaliland, and, using a historical ethnographic approach, addresses two main issues. First, the analysis addresses the transformation and reproduction of the social boundary which separates an ascribed status-based minority group within the society: what symbolic, political, economic and social apparatuses have articulated the boundary and the belonging to this minority group? How have these apparatuses changed? Second, the analysis adopts the trajectory of the minority members in the town of Hargeysa as a perspective on the history of north-western Somali society: from the point of view of an ascribed status-based minority group, what can we see of the social, economic and political changes which occurred during the decades of slow colonial penetration into the area, of urban expansion, of postcolonial state consolidation and collapse, civil war, mass displacement, peace building, and the contemporary waves of diasporisation of this society?

Neste livro, iremos viajar pelo imaginário popular e oral, que permeia a vida de muitas pessoas que se deixam embalar por uma boa "estória". Aqui apresento personagens que fazem parte de nosso folclore e narro alguns mitos presentes em nossa vivencia familiar, enraizados em nossa cultura, trazidos e resgatados atraves do ato de contar.

La muerte, en la cultura occidental, es objeto de comentarios avergonzados y comprensiones tácitas, en unos casos, o de una violencia orgiástica, en otros. En nuestra sociedad, tan amiga de la fotografia, la ultima escena del album familiar, el entierro, siempre falta. Al parecer, la muerte nos anonada y somos incapaces de comprender su universalidad. En cambio, los torajan, una tribu de Indonesia, utilizan a sus muertos a modo de comodos estantes para guardar sus casetes. Nigel Barley, al explorar con ingenio y una vision muy personal la sorprendente variedad de maneras en que diferentes culturas responden a la muerte y le dan sentido, nos guia por campos tan diversos como los mitos relacionados con la muerte, las creencias acerca de los duelos, los banquetes funerarios llenos de alegria, los videos de las autopsias, el canibalismo, la caza de cabezas y los ritos mortuorios de la realeza. Bailando sobre la tumba, que no es un libro morboso, sino que ofrece una profunda fuente de inspiracion, nos da una fascinante muestra de la diversidad de las reacciones humanas ante el problema de la muerte.
