There is a tendency to consider all refugees as 'vulnerable
victims': an attitude reinforced by the stream of images depicting
refugees living in abject conditions. This groundbreaking study of
Somalis in a Kenyan refugee camp reveals the inadequacy of such
assumptions by describing the rich personal and social histories
that refugees bring with them to the camps. The author focuses on
the ways in which Somalis are able to adapt their 'nomadic'
heritage in order to cope with camp life; a heritage that includes
a high degree of mobility and strong social networks that reach
beyond the confines of the camp as far as the U.S. and Europe.
