DESCRIPTION:Somalia's civil war\, which began in 1990\, produced a flood of
  refugees\, many of whom have resettled in the U.S. This paper (and its ac
 companying photographs) traces the fate of one family's story to show how 
 global events have shaped their choices and opportunities for four generat
 ions\, from Ethiopia to Lewiston\, Maine. Even though refugees are a produ
 ct of global politics\, their future is constrained by nationalist categor
 ies and discourses. Catherine Besteman is Professor of Anthropology at Col
 by College. She is the author or editor of 6 books\, including Transformin
 g Cape Town (California)\, Unraveling Somalia (Penn)\, and Why America's T
 op Pundits are Wrong (California\, coedited with Hugh Gusterson). Her newe
 st volume\, The Insecure American(California\, coedited with Hugh Gusterso
 n) will be published this month. She studies Somali politics\, Somali Bant
 u refugee experience in Maine\, and post apartheid cultural transformation
  and activism in Cape Town.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
