"The Disorder of Things offers a reading of the Somali novelist through the prism of the French philosopher. The book argues that the preoccupations that have remained central throughout Farah's forty year career, including political autocracy, female infibulation, border conflicts, international aid and development, civil war, transnational migration and the Horn of Africa's place in a so-called 'axis of evil,' can be mapped onto some key concerns in Foucault's writing, most notably Foucault's theoretical turn from 'disciplinary' to 'biopolitical' power." -- Back cover.
