Download or read book Possible Spaces of Somali Belonging written by Vivian Gerrand and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when Somalis migrate to countries with which they have few cultural ties? What helps Somalis to feel at home in their new Western countries of residence? Possible Spaces of Somali Belonging explores representations of Somali resettlement to understand the mechanics of contemporary belonging and the challenges faced by Western societies as they attempt to ‘integrate’ Somali migrants. How do particular representations contribute to or detract from Somali belonging? In the contexts of Australia and Italy—taken as case studies—Somalis are marginalised in different ways. With a multi-disciplinary approach, this book examines different forms of Somali representation in Australia and Italy that engender a sense of belonging and expands exclusive definitions of nationhood.

Download or read book Women of the Somali Diaspora written by Joanna Lewis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Somali mothers and daughters who came to Britain in the 1990s to escape civil war. Many had never left Somalia before, followed nomadic traditions, did not speak English, were bereaved and were suffering from PTSD. Their stories begin with war and genocide in the north, followed by harrowing journeys via refugee camps, then their arrival and survival in London. Joanna Lewis exposes how they rapidly recovered, mobilising their networks, social capital and professional skills. Crucial to the recovery of the now breakaway state of (former British) Somaliland, these women bore a huge burden, but inspired the next generation, with many today caught between London and a humanitarian impulse to return home. Lewis reveals three histories. Firstly, the women's personal history, helping us to understand resilience as an individual, lived historical process that is both positive and negative, and both inter- and intra-generational. Secondly, a collective history of refugees as rebuilders, offering insight into the dynamism of the Somali diaspora. Finally, the forgotten history and hidden legacies of Britain's colonial past, which have played a key role in shaping this dramatic, sometimes upsetting, but always inspiring story: the power of women to heal the scars of war.

Download or read book An Immigrant s Memoir written by Abdullahi M Arale and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a nonfiction, storytelling memoir, narrated by the author himself from his personal immigration dilemmas in terms of early migration experiences to Canada, his ensuing struggles for establishing legal status and equally striving to fit into the Canadian society, through the process of integration. Through this chronicle, the book emphasizes the need for social justice that is equality before the law, equal opportunity for employment and equal justice and treatment for all Canadians irrespective of their skin color, national origin, faith and sexual orientation. It strives in this historical and experiential narrative to expose the undeclared racial and religious battles percolating in Canada since its inception, manifesting themselves in racist and discriminatory public displays often organized and carried out by a racist, white nationalist section of society, against immigrants about which no one, specifically, ‘white Canadians’ do not want to talk about, never mind taking a clear position against it. The book strives as well to shed light on “the European superiority myth” (Hughes, 08, 2015) and [ Why Europe is the superior civilization; why not China” ( Landes, spring 2006)]” which both authors ascribe the principle causes of bondage, death, disease, crimes against humanity to this very Eurocentric mindset. Equally, as reported by Andrea Smith the author of “Indigeneity, Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy is attributable to the genocide against Indigenous Peoples of the African, Australian and North American continents (Smith, A). The author, as a new Canadian, experiences prejudice and stereotype in a university classroom. He envisioned that white supremacists must not use university venues as a platform for their bigoted views. Hence, he decides to write a book addressing the myth of euro superiority. In this work, the author disposes cruelties used by north American white settlers to enslave black people, massacre, humiliate and dispossess Indigenous peoples ‘lands. Notwithstanding of its defeat in WWWII, ,Euro superiority thrives to this day, causing social disunity here in North America and elsewhere. Five-point proposals are put forward to empower Canadian institutions as well as citizens against white supremacy ideology.

Download or read book Call Me American written by Abdi Nor Iftin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abdi Nor Iftin first fell in love with America from afar. As a child, he learned English by listening to American pop and watching action films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. When U.S. marines landed in Mogadishu to take on the warlords, Abdi cheered the arrival of these Americans, who seemed as heroic as those of the movies. Sporting American clothes and dance moves, he became known around Mogadishu as Abdi American, but when the radical Islamist group al-Shabaab rose to power in 2006, it became dangerous to celebrate Western culture. Desperate to make a living, Abdi used his language skills to post secret dispatches, which found an audience of worldwide listeners. Eventually, though, Abdi was forced to flee to Kenya. In an amazing stroke of luck, Abdi won entrance to the U.S. in the annual visa lottery, though his route to America did not come easily. Parts of his story were first heard on the BBC World Service and This American Life. Now a proud resident of Maine, on the path to citizenship, Abdi Nor Iftin's dramatic, deeply stirring memoir is truly a story for our time: a vivid reminder of why America still beckons to those looking to make a better life.

Download or read book Getting Somalia Wrong written by Mary Harper and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-09 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Somalia is a failed state, representing a threat to itself, its neighbours and the wider world. In recent years, it has become notorious for the piracy off its coast and the rise of Islamic extremism, opening it up as a new 'southern front' in the war on terror. At least that is how it is inevitably portrayed by politicians and in the media. Mary Harper presents the first comprehensive account of the chaos into which the country has descended and the United States' renewed involvement there. In doing so, Harper argues that viewing Somalia through the prism of al-Qaeda risks further destabilizing the country and the entire Horn of Africa, while also showing that though the country may be a failed state, it is far from being a failed society. In reality, alternative forms of business, justice, education and local politics have survived and even flourished. Provocative in its analysis, Harper shows that until the international community starts to 'get it right' the consequences will be devastating, not just for Somalia, but for the world.

Book excerpt: County Lines - the new breed of exploitation plaguing the streets of a town near you. If you've heard any news report on the upsurge in knife crime recently, you'll have heard the words 'county lines'. From the street slang that was once known as 'going country' - it sees powerful drugs gangs supplying outside of the capital through an underworld 'emerging markets enterprise', using children as young as 12 and vulnerable men and women to do their dirty work. Teens whose bereaved relatives assume they led ordinary lives, who tell us they were 'good kids', suddenly end up stabbed to death with no seeming motive. At night, on a usually quiet suburban street, a massive knife fight erupts and two kids end up on life support. Their parents tell the news they weren't in a gang ... What is really going on? Jason Farrell, Home Editor at Sky News, is the man with the inside story. In this fearless, hard-hitting account, Farell shares in terrifying detail the story of the county lines phenomenon through the words of gang members and their victims themselves as well as the police and the country's leading experts. Through exclusive interviews and meticulous research, Farell paints a vivid picture of how this murky world operates he reveals the devastating effects County Lines is having upon the UK... and beyond... and, most terrifying of all, why this new, sinister crime wave means nobody is safe.
