  • To Become Somebody You Have to Learn Swedish
    ARNE FORSMAN TO BECOME SOMEBODY YOU HAVE TO LEARN SWEDISH Somali Children in Sweden This chapter explores the experiences of school among Somali students who attend an independent Muslim School in Sweden. SOMALIS IN SWEDEN Sweden has a population of around ten million people and because approximately ten percent are born overseas, it is now seen as a multi-cultural society. In comparison to other countries in Europe, Sweden accepts the most refugees in relation to its total population. Officially and politically, migrants are considered to be an invaluable resource for the development of Swedish society, both culturally and financially. Historically, migrants have made a great contribution to the Swedish labour market and without their contribution the welfare system in Sweden would not be as strong as it is today. Today, however, there are a significantly higher number of unemployed people among non-native citizens in Sweden. For many years, questions concerning migration and integration have been frequently debated in the political arena. As a result the sustainability and reliability of the government’s immigration and refugee policy has been questioned. The Swedish government has been severely criticised by the United Nations and the European Union over the deportation of people searching for sanctuary and asylum in Sweden. A long history of war and political instability has forced many Somalis to flee their country. The Somali population in Sweden is approximately 70,000 persons. Approximately 35,000 refugees have arrived in Sweden since the 1980s as they flee from war and terror in their native country. Many of these Somali refugees have acquired Swedish citizenship and others have, or are waiting for, a permanent residence permit with probably an unknown number remaining in the country illegally (SCB, 2006).

  • Mental Health Problems and Healing Among Somalis in Sweden*
    Mental Health Problems and Healing among Somalis in Sweden* Johan Wedel I. Introduction Refugees are particularly at risk of mental health problems and they often have special needs that must be met if integration into the new country is to succeed.1 However, there is a lack of research that focuses on the refugees’ own perceptions and ideas about mental health.2 One of the largest refugee populations worldwide is the Somalis. It is esti- mated that more than a million have fled their country because of the civil war.3 Many Somalis in the diaspora experience anxiety, marginal- ization, and mental health problems. At the same time, few make use of biomedical health services when suffering. Moreover, there exists a certain mistrust of the biomedical health sector.4 In addition, many Somalis turn to non-Western healing practices when suffering from episodes of ill health.5 Somalis in the diaspora have depression and anxiety related to war, the loss of family members, and afflicting spirits known as jinni or jinn.6 This essay examines ideas and experiences of mental health prob- lems among Somali refugees in Sweden. It explores these issues from an anthropological perspective by emphasizing people’s own words about illness, healing, and well-being. In so doing, the article adds to the knowledge about how Somalis in the diaspora conceptualize and respond to mental illness. 73 Bildhaan Vol. 11 II. Somali-Swedes and Medical Health Care Services About 30,000 Somalis reside in Sweden today.7 Many suffer from health problems. The probability of becoming hospitalized is high among Somalis, both compared to native Swedes and to other immigrants.8 Many also feel discriminated against, stigmatized, and unwanted in Swedish society; a situation that tends to lead to isolation and segrega- tion.

References and other sources of information 2 (41) Prologue As a freelance thinker with deep concern to human environs I have set up a Mobile Museum in 2012 with a purpose of documenting the migration and integration stories of immigrants, focusing on such areas as identity, culture, heritage, language, history and to some extent religion. I have been following the changes that happen on the life of the immigrant--starting with myself-- as a result of coming to a new land that has little or virtually nothing to share with their countries of origin. During the three years of its existence I have collected with limited capacity though, texts, photos and video clips which cover the life of the immigrant in Sweden and particularly, Småland. The Mobile Museum stories are based on the personal reflections of the immigrants, their impressions and their perceptions towards their new life in Sweden. In addition to that there are other stories which I have collected on the basis of my personal observations.

  • Re-Made in Sweden: Success Stories in a Swedish Migration Context
    Olsson, E. 2021. Re-made in Sweden: Success Stories in a Swedish Migration Context. Nordic Journal of Migration Research, 11(1), pp. 20–34. DOI: https://doi.org/10.33134/njmr.334 RESEARCH Re-made in Sweden: Success Stories in a Swedish Migration Context Erik Olsson Department of Social Anthropology, Stockholm University, Stockholm, SE [email protected] This article discusses how migrants from the Middle East are accounting for their successful career pathways as businessperson and academics in the Swedish soci- ety. It demonstrates how the stories of these individuals reveal strategies for mobilising the forms of capital that assumes to promote career advancement. It argues that the migrants accentuate a ‘middle-class standpoint’ with a priority on education; the capital mobilised in their country of origin is ‘reinvested’ in stud- ies and the making of new contacts in the Swedish society. The article concludes that these stories are significantly shaped by the individuals’ professional position and class background but indirectly also by their foreign background. The article also reveals that the conditions set for successful career achievement require individual strategies that pragmatically downplay differences in societies as well as ethnicity and disregard the influence of discrimination. Keywords: Migration; Career pathways; Success stories; Capital I. Introduction Samad is one of the entrepreneurs in Sweden who made it ‘against all the odds’. Born in a middle-sized town in Eastern Iran in the mid-1960s, he grew up in a family with a good financial situation – his father was a bank manager in the 1970s. However, because of the Iranian revolution, the family lost most of its wealth.

  • Al-Shabaab in Sweden
    Al-Shabaab in Sweden Perceptions of an Islamist extremist organization Malmö University Department of Global Political Science Fall 2010FK103E Module 2 (15 ECTS) BA Thesis in Peace and Conflict Studies Author: Patric Fahlander Tutor: Hans Abrahamsson Word count: 15496 Abstract Al-Shabaab is a Somalia-based Islamist organization. They militarily oppose the transitional Government of Somalia and constitute a threat to peace and stability in the area. An important part of the support from Shabaab comes from diasporic communities, whereas Sweden is one country from where fighters have been recruited. This thesis provides a description of the organization and its terrorist nature. By using small stories called narratives, collected from Somalis in Malmö, and comparing these stories to the grand narrative of Al-Shabaab in Sweden given by The Security Service, the thesis provides a description of how Al-Shabaab is understood in Sweden.

  • Potentials and Dilemmas of Homemaking in the Public Among the Somali Swedes in Rinkeby, Stockholm
    The Neighbourhood as Home Away from Home? Potentials and Dilemmas of Homemaking in the Public Among the Somali Swedes in Rinkeby, Stockholm Aurora Massa and Paolo Boccagni ABSTRACT Home, as a special attachment to (and appropriation over) place, can also be cultivated in the public urban space, under certain conditions that we explore through a case study in Rinkeby, Stockholm. This article analyses various forms of homemaking in the public among the Somali-Swedes who live there. It shows how, in the case of vul- nerable immigrants, a neighbourhood feels like home insofar as it facilitates a continuity with their past ways of living, sensuous con- nections with a shared ‘Somaliness’, reproduction of transnational ties, and protection from the sense of being ‘otherised’ that often creeps among them. However, homemaking in the public is ridden with contradictions and dilemmas, including those of self-segre- gation. The grassroots negotiation of a sense of home along these lines invites a novel approach into the everyday lived experience of diverse neighbourhoods in European majority-minority cities.1 KEYWORDS homemaking, neighbourhood, normality, public space, transnation- alism, Somali migrants, Sweden When I interviewed Hanan2 [a Somali-Italian man living in Rome], he had just come back from Rinkeby where he had visited his sis- ters. Rinkeby, he enthusiastically explained, is where many Somali migrants in Stockholm live and have shops and restaurants. ‘If you want to study Somalis in Sweden, you must go there, it is called “little Mogadishu”’, he recommended when I told him about my fieldwork plans. But he also cautioned me: ‘It is a ghetto.

The study is based on interviews conducted with twenty-eight Somalis, ten Swedish officials and a focus group interview involving eight other Somalis. The thesis examines respondents’ views about their experiences and perceptions relating to the ‘integration’ of Somalis into Swedish society. The study explores how Somali refugees in Sweden orientate themselves to the prevailing Swedish system of integration. It also aims to identify some of the key factors that impinge upon their (Somalis) socioeconomic and cultural integration into Swedish society. The study reveals that there are a n umber of ‘integrative dilemmas’ confronting Somali refugees in Sweden. These include widespread unemployment; ‘unsuitable’ education; residential segregation; and, institutional discrimination – notably, in the labour market and housing sectors.
