The existence of the leading lineages inhabiting the towns of the Benaadir coast of Somalia (Muqdisho, Marka, Barawe and Warshaykh) has, in its essence, been defined by the ability to remain distinct from other elements of the wider society in which they operate. Since at least the tenth century, all of these communities have earned their livelihoods via commerce. In particular their primary role lay in obtaining goods from pastoral and agricultural Somalis (i.e. grain, ghee, hides, camels and goats) in the interior and exchanging these in the coastal ports for finished goods (i.e. cloth, tobacco, beads) with Arab and Indian merchants from abroad. Their success as mercantile communities was dependent upon their ability to maintain a monopoly as brokers between the Somalis of the interior and foreign merchants.

The existence of the leading lineages inhabiting the towns of the Benaadir coast of Somalia (Muqdisho, Marka, Barawe and Warshaykh) has, in its essence, been defined by the ability to remain distinct from other elements of the wider society in which they operate. Since at least the tenth century, all of these communities have earned their livelihoods via commerce. In particular their primary role lay in obtaining goods from pastoral and agricultural Somalis (i.e. grain, ghee, hides, camels and goats) in the interior and exchanging these in the coastal ports for finished goods (i.e. cloth, tobacco, beads) with Arab and Indian merchants from abroad. Their success as mercantile communities was dependent upon their ability to maintain a monopoly as brokers between the Somalis of the interior and foreign merchants.

The key to their intermediate position lay in a delicate balancing act in which town elites managed to maintain social and cultural links with both local and overseas trade partners, while at the same time remaining separate from each. The end result of such cultural juggling was the creation of a coastal identity which, while closely linked to the Somali culture of the interior on the one hand and sharing strong affinities with overseas, particularly Arab, merchants on the other, was distinctly 'Benaadiri'.

Using oral traditions and Arabic language documents, this study examines the ways in which urban Somalis attempted to maintain their 'distinct' position against outside pressures during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. In particular it explores how Benaadiri townspeople preserved their interstitial position through the manipulation of various elements (religious, cultural, social and, genealogical) which both linked and distinguished them from other surrounding communities. By emphasizing commonalities and diversities Benaadir societies could either draw themselves closer to their trade partners or create a discreet amount of social distance, depending upon which served their immediate interests. This work examines the evolutionary nature of this process and the ability of Benaadiri society to adapt itself to the needs of an ever changing world in its efforts to remain a distinct and functioning community down to the present.
