Swahili Dress

Swahili Clerical/Traditional Dress.




















The question of Swahili Identity, and in Kenya/Horn of Africa, still in many a way does remain standing in all. That Swahili people into Kenya, and as often identified in all, and in speak of the Swahili City-States/cities too, and such as Mombasa or Mogadishu for instance, does bring along with it all, beliefs in all again, and of Swahili people, and as simply meddling and in Kenyan Affairs too for instance [at the very least too, all this speaking even of Swahili people and as viewed more Authentic in their ways, and as compared to speak of the Maasai and other Indigenous groups that is].

In settling this manner, is to perhaps tell one that, when they do think of Swahili Identity and in the Horn of Africa too, then let them think Swahili Clerical/Traditional Dress, and all this too and as with regards to what does constitute for Swahili Identity in all, and as Swahili Identity and as stretching into the Middle East, does speak even of Swahili Clans (Wealthy Families), while Swahili Identity, and as seen in Asia too for instance, does speak even and of Swahili Professional/Ethnic Identities that is. In all, a surprise to some, and as the Swahili in all again, no longer do Identify and with their former City-Sates/cities, but instead create Swahili Identity and on the Swahili Coast, and from a Historical Ethnographic perspective, and as with speak even of the Shirazi, Bajuni, Wareno etc. for instance.
