This book examines the challenges of marginalisation that are faced by Muslims of two countries; Kenya and Uganda in their quest for survival. For Kenya, we deliberately focus on the Somali Kenyan or Kenyan Somali. We argue that despite the well-documented marginalisation of both communities, they have risen above them and not only survived but thrived in some instances, leading to the realization that although they carry a minority status, their influence is positively disproportionate to their numbers. So in a sense, it is a book on resilience.
