本文借鉴了埃塞俄比亚东部的民族志和卫生政策研究，重新考虑索马里人之间的亲属关系和游牧，因为这两个文化特征在经常性的人道主义危机和偶发性的救济行动的背景下转变。埃塞俄比亚境内索马里人新的旅行和移徙模式的出现及其重要性表明，许多索马里人的流动所依赖的索马里亲属关系的构成和规定发生了重大变化。相反，对索马里人活跃的小部族群体和地理上分散的亲属网络的分析也突出表明了新出现的流动和移徙模式，使他们能够获得培训机会和在救济组织就业，以及获得人道主义援助。基于这些研究结果，本文认为，亲属关系和游牧都长期中央索马里的身份在索马里主要是相互依存，共同进化，并在面对经常性的危机和间歇性的人道主义反应的弹性和生计的关键。
This paper draws on extended ethnographic and health policy research in eastern Ethiopia to reconsider kinship and nomadism among Somalis, as both of these cultural features transform in the contexts of recurrent humanitarian crises and episodic relief operations. The emergence and importance of new patterns of travel and migration among Somalis in Ethiopia reveal significant changes in the configurations and enactments of Somali kinship, on which many Somalis' mobility depends. Conversely, an analysis of Somalis' dynamic sub-clan groupings and geographically dispersed kinship networks also highlights emergent patterns of mobility and migration that enable access to training opportunities and employment with relief organisations, as well as to distributions of humanitarian aid. Based on these findings, this paper argues that kinship and nomadismboth long central to Somalis' identities in Ethiopiaremain interdependent, coevolved, and key to their resilience and livelihoods in the face of recurrent crises and intermittent humanitarian responses.
