When civil war came to Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, in January 1991, twothirds of the citys population fled. Among them was eightyearold Asad Abdullahi. His mother murdered by a militia, his father somewhere in hiding, he was swept alone into the great wartime migration that scattered the Somali people throughout subSaharan Africa and the world.This extraordinary book tells Asads story. Tossed from one catastrophe to another, Asads journey covers countries and continents, from the cosmopolitan streets of innercity Nairobi to the Ethiopian hinterland; and the promises and pitfalls of Johannesburg, South Africa, whose streets he believed would be lined with gold. Thus begins a shocking adventure in a country richer and more violent than he could possibly have imagined, leading to the final coda of America. Throughout, A Man of Good Hope is a complex, affecting, ultimately hopeful portrait of Asads search for salvation, suffused with dreams and desires and a need to leave something permanent on this earth.
