Description
Annika Lems explores the complex relationships between displacement and belonging in the everyday lives of three middle-aged Somalis living in Melbourne. Through their stories, she examines how people navigate the tensions between being here and being elsewhere.
This thought-provoking work challenges traditional anthropological theories by highlighting the crucial connections between existence (Sein) and place (Da). By shedding light on the experiences of refugees as a metaphor for societal alienation, Lems offers a nuanced understanding of what it means to be in the world.
