Paper long abstract:
The civil war in Somalia in the early 1990s produced a Somali diaspora
of unseen dimensions. Men, women and children in hundreds of thousand fled
the country and sought refugee in new lands. In their exile condition
Somali women as circumcised women negotiate problems of alienation and
identity loss. This paper discusses displacement and emplacement processes
with particular reference to risk, security and protection.
