Beyond Western Family Norms. Transnational Somali Clan Family Networks under Conditions of Forced Migration

Zusammenfassung

The pluralization of family forms is frequently discussed both in academic and political debates. However, in family research, migration-related diversity such as clan families, is often ignored, excluded or constructed as deviant. Based on a praxeological approach, this contribution aims to explore if and how ‘refugee’ family members from Somalia are embedded in clan family networks. The data draws on 81 semi-structured and biographical interviews with Somali migrants in Germany, conducted within the framework of an anthropological research in 2017. The interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, with the assistance of MAXDA software. The results show that clan family networks are done transnationally and in a highly situational and flexible way. They highlight that family in the clan context is done through collective care arrangements and support, particularly linked to mobility practices during crises or special occasions. This constitutes heterogeneous family constellations before, during and after forced migration. It has been shown that discrimination plays a role, as well as the transformation due to forced migration.
