| Summary | "Sun, Sand and Somals" by Henry A. Rayne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work features the author's personal experiences as a District Commissioner in British Somaliland, detailing the life and culture of the Somali people and the administrative challenges faced by colonial authorities. The opening of the book provides a rich context for the setting, starting with a description of Zeila, a port on the coast of British Somaliland. Rayne introduces various aspects of Somali tribal life, their customs, and their interactions with British rule. He reflects on the complexities of local governance, the cultural nuances of the Somali people, and the presence of the British administration, which aims to maintain order amidst social upheaval and tribal conflicts. This introduction establishes the tone for an insightful exploration of the interplay between colonial power and indigenous life, inviting readers to learn about a region often overlooked in historical narratives.
