Description:
An enlightening introduction to Minnesota's Somalis, who have adjusted to a new climate, new language, and new culture in a region wholly different from their homeland.
Review Quotes: "Somalis in Minnesota provides a concise, poetic, and passionate portrayal of the newest group of Minnesotans. The author succeeds in educating us of the complex history that brought this African Muslim refugee community to snow-covered Minnesota and of the human warmth, from both within and without, that led to a chain migration that created the largest Somali settlement in the United States. Well-written, informative, and timely."
