This paper investigates the ways in which Farah’s work reflects shifts in humanitarian values over years of civil war, and the different pressures these shifts exert on the preservation of humanity. Particularly inKnots,the narrative reveals some characters whose personal experiences related to Somalia civil war are made of anarchy and violence.To overcome this situation of chaos, some antagonists get together to bring back solidarity and humanism in the disarticulated Somalian society. Accordingly, thenarrative of Farah’s Knots proposesactions in the light of womanismto escape or overcome thechaos in the lives of vulnerable persons.We will then point out how the chaos affects people in exile as well as the country and those trapped within its knots. Also, in the light of the Positioning Theory concepts such as symbolical interactionism or social actions for positive change,we will see if interactions based on womanism can effectively work to reduce the ambient chaos in a war-plaguedsociety and bring back humanism.
