SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: Cosmopolitan Refugees
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Cosmopolitan Refugees: Somali Migrant Women in Nairobi and Johannesburg\, a book by ACMS’s alumnus Nereida Ripero-Muñiz on 18 May 2023 (see details below). The publication is based on her doctoral thesis with the Centre titled The Port and the Island: Identity\, Cosmopolitanism and Islam among Somali Women in Nairobi and Johannesburg. Dr Ripero-Muñiz is currently working as a lecturer in the School of Literature\, Language and Media\, at the University of the Witwatersrand. \n \nAbstract:\nExploring the dynamics of identity formation processes in diasporic spaces\, this book analyses how gender\, cultural and religious practices are renegotiated in a situation of displacement. The author presents the comparative case study of Somali migrant women in Nairobi and Johannesburg: two cosmopolitan urban hubs in the global South. The book is based on and includes ethnographic observations in Nairobi and Johannesburg\, first-person accounts of migration journeys across the African continent and women’s reflections on what it means to be a Somali woman today. \nCitation:\nRipero-Muñiz\, Nereida.
