摘要本文旨在了解索马里移民到南非以及在约翰内斯堡生活和工作的索马里人的生活，约翰内斯堡是一个为生活和生计提供经济机会和风险的城市。基于在约翰内斯堡对索马里领导人的采访、参与者观察、桌面研究和对移民调查的二次分析，本文是关于这些移民的生计和赋权的博士论文的一部分。它探讨了这些移民内部和之间的身份认同和融合的概念。有证据表明，民族和宗教认同是索马里人定居和融入社会的核心，而社会网络在移民、定居和维持与家乡的联系方面发挥着重要作用。
Abstract This paper seeks to understand Somali migration to South Africa and the lives of Somalis living and working in Johannesburg, a city that has provided economic opportunities and risks to life and livelihoods. Based on interviews with Somali leaders in Johannesburg, participant observation, a desktop study and secondary analysis of migration surveys, this paper is part of a doctoral thesis on livelihoods and empowerment amongst these migrants. It explores concepts of identity and integration within and amongst these migrants. Evidence suggests that national and religious identity is central to Somali settlement and integration, spawned out of social networks that play an important role in migrating, settling and maintaining connections with home.
