Abstract EN
Since 1991, large numbers of Somalis have migrated abroad.
Many of them relocated to refugee camps in neighbouring countries, others reside further afield in western countries.
With the understanding that processes of settlement are varied, this article gives an overview of the social context in which Somali migration and settlement has occurred in two countries, Italy and Australia.
In Italy, citizenship is seldom granted to Somalis.
On the other hand, Australia offers official recognition to them in the form of citizenship within a multicultural model, however limited or “thin” this may be.
This article compares the resettlement trajectories of migrants and refugees from Somalia in the two countries.
This comparative overview forms a basis for understanding the immigration policies and perceptions of immigrants in Italy and Australia and makes possible an informed engagement with the nuances of Somali experiences in the diaspora
