The Somali camel boy : a novel / Nur Abdi. by Abdi, Nur, 1951- Mawenzi House, 2019. Call #: FICTION ABD Subjects Children of murder victims -- Fiction.   Refugees -- Canada -- Fiction.   Revenge -- Fiction.   Somalia -- Fiction.   Toronto (Ont.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781988449876 (trade pbk.) Description:  201 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  "Ali belongs to a camel-herding family of the Sudi clan, in a Somali society riven by ancient clan rivalries. When members of the rival Duki clan kill his father and steal his herd, Ali walks all the way to the capital town to start a new life. The ruling government, however, is dominated by the Duki; its actions are murderous, its rulings arbitrary, and its target the Sudi clan. For the crime of yawning, thus making a joke of the Great Leader’s nickname, "big mouth", Ali is arrested, imprisoned, brutally beaten, and tortured. He manages to flee to Toronto, where he is assisted by two members of his clan. Celebrating his new freedom, his family now with him, this self-willed but simple camel boy is still obsessed with one mission: to avenge the murder of his father by killing a Duki."--Publisher.
