Product Information

The increased presence of Somalis has brought much change to East African towns and cities in recent decades, change that has met with ambivalence and suspicion, especially within Kenya. This volume demystifies Somali residence and mobility in urban East Africa, showing its historical depth, and exploring the social, cultural and political underpinnings of Somali-led urban transformation. In so doing, it offers a vivid case study of the transformative power of (forced) migration on urban centres, and the intertwining of urbanity and mobility. The volume will be of interest for readers working in the broader field of migration, as well as anthropology and urban studies.

Reviews
"This book is a microcosm of the broader processes that reinforce urban mobilities at the local levels...[It] contributes to a better understanding of these dynamics and reveals the constant state of mobility within urban areas." * City and Society "This book is a vital resource to Anthropologists, Historians, Tourists, Educators and Students, Economists and Business enthusiasts...Overall, a detailed story of Somali mobile urbanity in East Africa is well written and presented in a readable, scholarly, and entertaining style." * Ethnic & Racial Studies "This is an important book and one that is sorely needed... it corrects a misperception that Somalis are mainly pastoralists, when in fact they have a long tradition of living in towns and engaging in non-pastoral livelihoods, such as commerce." * Peter D. Little, Emory University, "Despite its theoretical understatement, the work develops significant ethnographic insights into the ways in which migrants and cities constantly remake each other in conjunction with the circulation of goods, discourses, and ideas. The volume's focus on eastern Africa makes it a must-read for regionally focused u urbanists. It also raises questions for further research on how eastern Africa's mobile urbanity might be connecting in new ways to urban lives beyond Africa." * JRAI "This book is a microcosm of the broader processes that reinforce urban mobilities at the local levels...[It] contributes to a better understanding of these dynamics and reveals the constant state of mobility within urban areas." * City and Society "This book is a vital resource to Anthropologists, Historians, Tourists, Educators and Students, Economists and Business enthusiasts...Overall, a detailed story of Somali mobile urbanity in East Africa is well written and presented in a readable, scholarly, and entertaining style." * Ethnic & Racial Studies "This is an important book and one that is sorely needed... it corrects a misperception that Somalis are mainly pastoralists, when in fact they have a long tradition of living in towns and engaging in non-pastoral livelihoods, such as commerce." * Peter D.
