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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is a fine book that offers fascinating comparative material from two well-chosen locations to discuss the lives and identity of Somali women migrants in Kenya and South Africa. It is theoretically astute and contains much important ethnographic material. I can see it becoming a key reference for the study of Somali diaspora in particular, and diaspora and identity in general.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Neil Carrier\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Bristol\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction: \u003c\/strong\u003eCosmopolitan Refugees\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Port and the Island: Somalis in Nairobi and Johannesburg\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Dynamics of Identity and Placemaking: the Making of ‘Little\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e Global and Local Identifications in Dialogue.
