  A hostile takeover is an aggressive maneuver in which one entity seizes control of another against its will. While the term is most commonly associated with corporate battles, hostile takeovers can occur in politics, criminal organizations, personal relationships, and even social groups. At its core, a hostile takeover is about power—gaining it, consolidating it, and using it to reshape an entity to serve the interests of the aggressor. Unlike consensual mergers or voluntary leadership transitions, hostile takeovers are marked by conflict, resistance, and strategic maneuvering. 
  In the corporate world, a hostile takeover typically occurs when one company seeks to acquire another without the consent of its board of directors. This is often done by purchasing a majority of shares on the open market, launching a tender offer to shareholders, or engaging in a proxy battle to replace leadership. The targeted company may attempt to defend itself using tactics such as poison pills, white knight rescues, or legal challenges, but once control is seized, the acquiring entity dictates the company's future direction. Corporate hostile takeovers are often driven by financial gain, market dominance, or strategic positioning, but they can also be fueled by personal vendettas or ideological shifts. 
  Beyond the business realm, hostile takeovers manifest in political settings as coups, regime changes, and leadership purges. Throughout history, governments have been overthrown through military force, manipulation of laws, or exploitation of public sentiment. Political leaders who rise to power through hostile means often implement sweeping changes, consolidating authority and eliminating opposition to solidify their control. These takeovers can reshape entire nations, alter global relations, and redefine ideologies, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences of power struggles.

  The book explores the history of a minority group, the Gaboye, in Somaliland, and, using a historical ethnographic approach, addresses two main issues. First, the analysis addresses the transformation and reproduction of the social boundary which separates an ascribed status-based minority group within the society: what symbolic, political, economic and social apparatuses have articulated the boundary and the belonging to this minority group? How have these apparatuses changed? Second, the analysis adopts the trajectory of the minority members in the town of Hargeysa as a perspective on the history of north-western Somali society: from the point of view of an ascribed status-based minority group, what can we see of the social, economic and political changes which occurred during the decades of slow colonial penetration into the area, of urban expansion, of postcolonial state consolidation and collapse, civil war, mass displacement, peace building, and the contemporary waves of diasporisation of this society?
