Abstract

Special issue on 'Somali Diaspora and Digital Practices: Gender, Media and Belonging.'  Journal of Global Diaspora & Media, 2(1), 2021): 1-97. Open access. Guest editor: Sandra Ponzanesi
The different contributions explore how digital co-presence, enabled by new social media platforms and apps, allows people to establish multi-sited forms of belonging that cut across national, ethnic and ‘clan’ boundaries and reshape the sense of diasporic belonging and nostalgia for the troubled homeland that has undergone enormous conflicts and strife. The close analysis of empirical findings across different sites in Europe shows multi-sitedness, generation and urban belonging as central features.
