SUMMARY:Politics/Poetics of Migration – Black Muslim Refugee: Militarism, Policing, and Somali American Resistance to State Violence
DESCRIPTION:Join us online or in person on Feb. 24 for a talk by Maxamed Abu-maye that draws from his recently published book, Black Muslim Refugee: Militarism, Policing, and Somali American Resistance to State Violence (University of California Press, 2025).\nCentering Somali refugee narratives, the talk examines the links between U.S. military violence abroad and policing domestically, tracing experiences from civil war–era Somalia to refugee camps in Kenya and to Somali American communities in the United States. Through storytelling and critical refugee studies, Dr. Abu-maye shows how U.S. militarism continues to shape refugee life while disrupting humanitarian narratives that obscure state violence.\nIn-person Registration: https://research.apps01.yorku.ca/machform/view.php?id=290575\nZoom Registration: https://yorku.zoom.us/meeting/register/CNTEpJ5OS9SftuOLJCijLQ\n
