Written from an interdisciplinary cultural migration studies perspective, the article understands violent extremism as a complex networked phenomenon. It makes an original contribution by highlighting the role of belonging in trajectories of radicalisation and resilience, bringing sociological studies of radicalised violence and resilience to such violence into dialogue with a cosmopolitan literary framework including the works of other diasporic Somali background European writers such as Cristina Ali Farah and Igiaba Scego.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Tydskrif vir Letterkunde}, author={Gerrand, Vivian}, year={2020}, month={Apr.}, pages={106–114} }
