Download or read book Children of the Camp written by Catherine-Lune Grayson and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic violence has characterized Somalia for over two decades, forcing nearly two million people to flee. A significant number have settled in camps in neighboring countries, where children were born and raised. Based on in-depth fieldwork, this book explores the experience of Somalis who grew up in Kakuma refugee camp, in Kenya, and are now young adults. This original study carefully considers how young people perceive their living environment and how growing up in exile structures their view of the past and their country of origin, and the future and its possibilities.

Download or read book Reconstituting Lives written by Melissa Filippi-Franz and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Somalia's civil war is now in its eighteenth year. The disintegration of the Somali state has produced hundred of thousands of refugees. ... The United States is home to many Somali refugees and asylum seekers as well. According to United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), the number of Somali refugees who sought asylum in the US between the years 1996 and 2005 totaled 280,293. ... At the time of my research in 2005-2006, the Kansas City Somali population totaled 3500. Somalis settle in Kansas City for a variety of reasons: family, housing, cost of living, and employment. The problems Kansas City Somalis face are numerous ranging from adult and child literacy to child rearing struggles to relationships with non-Somalis. My research investigates women's strategies in providing care for their families after forced migration. Somali women are the main caretakers of their families. They keep familial ties and households functioning, while they tend to their own hardships encountered as a result of civil war. The relationship between women's caring roles and their internalization of violence and trauma serves as the basic framework for this dissertation.

Book excerpt: For those like author Halima Abdirazak, war hasn't just existed on a television screen during the nightly world news. For Halima, war was on her front lawn. In 1991, seven-year-old Halima walked out of school one day into a civil war that had erupted on the streets of her home of Mogadishu, Somalia. From that day forward, Halima's life was constantly changing, and she was finding out how strong she really was. Her father, who worked for the United Nations, had to flee the country immediately without his family. Soon Halima and her family followed when Mogadishu was covered in blood. As they worked their way away from the war torn city, the little girl watched as men and women were gunned down in the streets she once played in. Halima's family made it to a refugee camp in Kenya, after surviving their ship sinking off the Kenyan coast, but hard times were far from over. In her memoir, My Father's Legacy: A Somali Woman's Journey from Somalia to US, author Halima Abdirazak tells her extraordinary life story in which she survives war, refugee camps, her father's death, and her own cancer diagnosis. Halima's autobiography is the story of a strong-willed, Muslim woman who was raised to believe that she had no limits in life, and she grew up to prove that.
Download or read book The Last Nomad written by Shugri Said Salh and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable and inspiring true story that "stuns with raw beauty" about one woman's resilience, her courageous journey to America, and her family's lost way of life. Winner of the 2022 Gold Nautilus Award, Multicultural & Indigenous Category Born in Somalia, a spare daughter in a large family, Shugri Said Salh was sent at age six to live with her nomadic grandmother in the desert. The last of her family to learn this once-common way of life, Salh found herself chasing warthogs, climbing termite hills, herding goats, and moving constantly in search of water and grazing lands with her nomadic family. For Salh, though the desert was a harsh place threatened by drought, predators, and enemy clans, it also held beauty, innovation, centuries of tradition, and a way for a young Sufi girl to learn courage and independence from a fearless group of relatives. Salh grew to love the freedom of roaming with her animals and the powerful feeling of community found in nomadic rituals and the oral storytelling of her ancestors. As she came of age, though, both she and her beloved Somalia were forced to confront change, violence, and instability. Salh writes with engaging frankness and a fierce feminism of trying to break free of the patriarchal beliefs of her culture, of her forced female genital mutilation, of the loss of her mother, and of her growing need for independence. Taken from the desert by her strict father and then displaced along with millions of others by the Somali Civil War, Salh fled first to a refugee camp on the Kenyan border and ultimately to North America to learn yet another way of life. Readers will fall in love with Salh on the page as she tells her inspiring story about leaving Africa, learning English, finding love, and embracing a new horizon for herself and her family. Honest and tender, The Last Nomad is a riveting coming-of-age story of resilience, survival, and the shifting definitions of home.

Download or read book It Only Takes One Yes written by Habso Mohamud and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nasra is the queen of the jungle who is the main character of the book. A female lead character with such a diverse background gives young children, and especially young girls, another role model whom they aren't exposed to everyday. Her wishes are parallel to the global goals, predominantly goals 1, 2, 3 4, 5, and goals 10, 16 and 17. The book displays a double meaning - the jungle refers to our nation. This book is a wonderful way to introduce children to what the SDG's (Sustainable Development Goals) would mean in simplistic and interesting terms. This book is also to engage and inspire every child on earth with the sustainable development goals. It would not only symbolize young girls who would look like myself but young boys and young girls across the globe from all walks of life would see themselves displayed in this book.
Download or read book The Securitization of Migration and Refugee Women written by Alison Gerard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-16 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanised accounts of restrictions on mobility are rarely the focus of debates on irregular migration. Very little is heard from refugees themselves about why they migrate, their experiences whilst entering the EU or how they navigate reception conditions upon arrival, particularly from a gendered perspective. The Securitization of Migration and Refugee Women fills this gap and explores the journey made by refugee women who have travelled from Somalia to the EU to seek asylum. This book reveals the humanised impact of the securitization of migration, the dominant policy response to irregular migration pursued by governments across the Globe. The Southern EU Member State of Malta finds itself on the frontline of policing and securing Europe’s southern external borders against transnational migrants and preventing migrants’ on-migration to other Member States within the EU. The securitization of migration has been responsible for restricting access to asylum, diluting rights and entitlements to refugee protection, and punishing those who arrive in the EU without valid passports –a visibly racialised and gendered population. The stories of the refugee women interviewed for this research detail the ways in which refugee protection is being eroded, selectively applied and in some cases specifically designed to exclude. In contrast to the majority of migration literature, which has largely focused on the male experience, this book focuses on the experiences of refugee women and aims to contribute to the volume of work dedicated to analysing borders from the perspective of those who cross them. This research strengthens existing criminological literature and has the potential to offer insights to policy makers around the world. It will be of interest to academics and students interested in International Crime and Justice, Securitisation, Refugee Law and Border Control, as well as the general reader.
Download or read book Welcome to Kenya written by Gerry J. Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nearly two decades of Kenyan hospitality towards Somali refugees and asylum seekers is turning sour. Near Kenya's officially closed border with Somalia, abusive police intercept thousands of mostly women and children asylum seekers fleeing war-torn Somalia every month. Using the clandestine nature of their journey as an excuse to extort and abuse them, police beat and, in some cases, rape them, and deport or detain those who don't pay on false charges of unlawful presence in Kenya. In early 2010, hundreds, if not thousands, of Somalis unable to pay were unlawfully sent back to Somalia. Once in the camps, which only 3 percent of refugees were allowed to leave in 2009, they face further police violence. Police also fail to investigate sexual violence against refugees by other refugees and Kenyan nationals in the camps, leading to a climate of impunity for those responsible. The abuses are the direct result of the country's border closure and the related closure of a refugee transit center near the border which used to provide a safe place where most Somalis first sought refuge in Kenya and from where the UN previously transported them to the camps. Without this transit center, Somalis have become fair game for corrupt police. This report outlines concrete steps Kenya should take to end the abuses and to proactively prevent and respond to sexual violence in the camps. It also calls on the UN refugee agency to improve its monitoring of abuses and to increase its advocacy with the authorities to end them."--P. [4] of cover.
